How to get out Full-screen mode?

Post by Frankyboy »

I tried Full-screen mode but can not het out back to the host. Only quiting gets me back but as soon as i start SheepShaver I am locked in again.

I run it in El Capinan with OS 9 (.0.3?)

I tried to move the SheepShaver.plist from the preferences folder but don't know how to change it back to the window setup.

Can anyone help me to get out again?

I made in invisible files visible with in with the terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

Then found the preference file in my home directory and found and changed this window setup and size.

Now at 1024x800 I also have my coulor screen back.

Is the Full screen mode any use if you can's get out without a quit and can not change back without getting in this difficult stuff??

Back to work now!
Thx

1. You can toggle window mode/full-screen mode using control-return while SheepShaver is running.

2. If you want to hand-edit the prefs file in your default text editor, you can enter in Terminal:

Code: Select all

open ~/.sheepshaver_prefs
This can be found in our setup guide: http://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/she ... creen_mode

Read it, there are more useful tips there!
