Safari 4 Full Screen View

Question

Safari 4 Full Screen View

Hi I'm aware that Safari 4 does not allow full screen view unless you manually enlarge it which is very disappointing. I read somewhere that it was possible to view Safari in full screen if you save a bookmark and give it a certain name but I can't seem to find the link anywhere. Anyone know what I'm talking about? thanks guys

Hi Stuart

I stay away from the workaround methods. One way of getting full screen with various options is to install 3rd party Glims. Once installed, you'll find Glims' many options/features as a separate panel in Safari Preferences.

Is glims safe to use? anyone have any issues with it? I don't like to install plugins unless I'm positive that it won't cause me any issues. Thanks

Hi

I've been using Glims for quite some time now (I wouldn't recommend something I don't use). If it does cause an issue, it's very easy to uninstall. IMO it enhances Safari's browsing experience in many ways, including a much more functional search feature.
