G-Force Full-Screen breaks my Mac...

Post by everythingeverywhere »

Hi G-Force community,

I'm amazed with G-Force, so beautiful. I want it on my 2nd monitor showing me beautiful visuals all day long and reacting to my voice! So cool. :D :D

But when I go into Full-Screen Mode on my 2nd Monitor, my main default monitor seems to be rendered somewhat broken. I can't use Mac's features like

1) Mission Control (can't swipe up with 4 fingers to see my windows)
2) Can't switch between apps using the Command-Tab key combination

What's weird is that the Alt-Tab feature still pops between windows in my browser, but anything popping between programs doesn't work...

I've done some research online, even tried asking ChatGPT about this and the only solution that I found was the following (which I tried and didn't work).
You may try the following steps to get the "Command-tab" function to work on your MacBook Pro while an app is in full screen mode on your second monitor:


1. Open "System Preferences" on your MacBook Pro and click on "Mission Control"
2. Uncheck the option "Displays have separate Spaces"
3. Restart your MacBook Pro


Once you have completed these steps, you should be able to use "Command-Tab" to switch between apps on your MacBook Pro even when one app is in full screen mode on your second monitor.

Any ideas what I can do to have my new gorgeous G-Force Platinum on my full-screen monitor and still be able to work with all my Mac tools?

Thank you for designing and supporting such a splendid system!

Was this the wrong forum to post this issue? Should I repost in General?

Hello everythingeverywhere

SoundSpectrum no longer exists to the best of my knowledge, they certainly do not have any employees. Why they keep this forum and their main site up and running I really don't know. Forum members try to help each other with issues, however, most use Windows which doesn't help you.

After working for months I accidentally stumbled upon a solution:

Drag the G-Force Standalone window over to the external monitor.
DON'T PRESS THE "FULL SCREEN" BUTTON IN G-FORCE
Hover over the top 3 buttons in the top left of the window and press "Enter Full Screen"
Command-Tab will still work on the main screen.

(Note* it appears to be impossible to close the full-screen G-Force without Force quitting the program in this method, but it's a workaround that works for me!)
