Open Sesame not saving full screen script change
I am running Open Sesame 3.1 on Macs. I want the experiments to run in full screen mode. I have edited the script (as suggested in a previous post (Jan 12 2017) to run in full screen. However the script change is not saved after 'applying' and 'saving'. Is this a bug? Is there another way to set full screen mode? Thanks.

Hi Jennifer,
To run an experiment full screen, you simply click the big green play button. You don't need to adjust the script for that!

Thanks, Sebastian, for the reply. I was running in full screen (clicking the big green button), but the images were scaled down leaving a large border. I realize now that I can adjust the scale to a factor >1 to fix that issue. Thanks!
Is this problem fixed already? I have the same issue.
Same here. Where exactly do you adjust the scale to a factor >1?
You do it in the
sketchpaditem, once an image is selected and drawn onto it, you can adjustscalein the top bar above the image. However, that was not the original problem.Eduard
Hi,
I am having a similar problem here. Can't run my experiment in full-screen mode (by clicking the big green button). I have also tried editing the script (as suggested in a previous post and here), but the code goes back to its original form every time (set fullscreen no), even after saving the changes.
Any ideas how I could fix it?
Thanks
@pdias I suspect that your operating system uses display scaling, which is a way to make things look bigger on displays with a very high resolution (on which things would otherwise look tiny). This often doesn't play nice with OpenSesame, and one symptom is that the experiment display is not really fullscreen, but rather appears as a windowless window in the top-left of the display. Is that what's happening for you as well? If so, then disabling display scaling will likely solve the issue. (On Windows 10, this option is called "Change the size of text, apps, and other items".)

Hi Sebastiaan,
Thanks for the reply. You were right: the problem was that my operating system set the display scaling to 75% and that was affecting the appearance of the experiment. Now I have set the display to 100% and, although everything else looks very tiny, the experiment looks normal.
Many thanks!
Cheers
