This seems to be a good summary of the situation. Given this information, would it be reasonable to introduce a new event for this action, or should I (and others needing to know when a window has gone fullscreen) derive our own WindowSizeHandler to intercept the request the go into a scree-based rendering mode? Either seems perfectly fine, to be honest. :) > -- > Matthew W.
