Q: ARD 3.7 full screen annoyances

Folks,

 

After the upgrade to ARD 3.7 I get a couple of annoyances when I switch to full screen:

  • Cannot switch back to window mode
  • The floating toolbar disappeared

 

Does anybody know how to solve these?

Apple Remote Desktop, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

A:

Found the way out by accident. When in full screen mode, move the mouse cursor to the very top side of the screen (not the corners). After a short delay the local menu bar and the remote desktop toolbar appear and from there one can use toolbar button or exit the fulll screen mode from the menu.

 

Hope this helps the others

    In addition to noting that there is a short delay before the local dock appears, there is another delay before the rest of the Remote Desktop window controls appear. So move the mouse cursor to the side near the top, wait for the dock to appear, and wait some more for the ARD controls to appear. Confusing, Apple!

     

    I'm using ARD 3.8 on El Capitan, FWIW.
