Minimising Window |

I love this game, but I have one nitpick. In other Mac games, I can use CMD H to hide the game, effectively minimising it so I can use other applications (like checking email / MSN Messenger). This key combination doesn't do anything in Bug Defender, and I can't work out any other way to minimise the game. Any help?
Thanks :) |

get out of full screen. Run in a window and stretch it to max, then cmd H will work. |

Yes I could do that, but I was hoping for a more elegant solution. Inability to minimise or hide a full screen window seems to stretch across many Mac games and programs. |

The Cmd H combo is a feature incorporated in the operating system for windowed applications - there's nothing implemented in the game for this to work. It doesn't work for fullscreen applications.
I'll look into implementing it for future versions of my games on Macs. |

Yes I'm aware of this. It is my biggest annoyance of the OS. How could an operating system built on consistency not have a standard for this? Some games use CMD H, others use CMD F, and some even use CMD Enter or Option/Alt Enter. I would like to see a standard instead of individual application, but just having it in the first place is a good step.

Sounds good. Remember the difference between hide and minimise, and which ever you program does I suggest a key combo that shows it, ie CMD H if it hides, or CMD M if it minimises to the dock. |
