standalone in fullscreen with no mouse sensitivity

Sat, 07/17/2010 - 17:45 — cracksloth

let me start by explaining what i want to do: create a commandline that will launch ES fullscreen and won't close when the mouse moves i am running Win7 32. i have heard reference to running in standalone mode using the -x argument but that doesn't run fullscreen. even in this mode, i can't seem to make it fullscreen by pressing F or Ctrl+F (which seems like a bug?). I also read in the most recent changelog that running fullscreen without mouse sensitivity should be possible, i just can't figure out how to do it... can anyone help? -cracksloth

You could...

Would not having the screen saver set up on a 1 minute delay.. and unplugging the mouse work too?.. I mean.. turning off the sensitivity will not allow you to take control when required. It sounds simple.. but perhaps works better then what you had in mind with all that programming bla bla -x ? :p

i actually want to be able to

i actually want to be able to launch ES as a "regular" fullscreen window to use a a cool background when running other tasks (like pandora) on my media pc. i want to be able to launch from a shortcut (or a simple script). unplugging the mouse is not an ideal or feasible solution for what i need but i appreciate the idea and thought. thanks for the idea! i actually created a small script that created a transparent window layered between pandora and ES (to shield it from registering mouse movement) but it no longer works with newer versions of ES for some reason.
