In addition to the previously announced improvements, VLC will also make use of OS X Lion’s native fullscreen mode. This way, VLC runs in a separate virtual desktop to your other apps, which simplifies multi-tasking quite a bit. Instead of VLC’s usual fullscreen button, you’ll see Lion’s native control in the upper left corner of VLC’s video window:
If you don’t like the native mode, especially since it can be less useful when using multiple physical screens, you can choose to continue to use VLC’s own fullscreen mechanism.
When can we expect this (really cool) stuff? 🙂
This fall. A feature freeze is scheduled for the end of the month, so some beta builds should be available around mid September. 🙂
Sounds great! Thanks for doing this guys.
Really useful information, thanks for the post.
