winit-fullscreen

This is a simple crate that manages toggling of fullscreen in a winit-based application. Given a borrowed immutable reference to your winit::window::Window instance, you can call:

window.toggle_fullscreen();

If your window is not fullscreen, it will be now, otherwise the reverse will be true.

Motivation

I found the fullscreen interface difficult to remember, the documentation lacking and there are some complexities involving different platforms (some do not support full exclusive mode, for example). So I decided to wrap up the functionality under a simple, argumentless, single function.

I am happy to contribute this back into the Winit crate if there is interest.

lib.rs:

This crate uses an extension trait to add a method winit::window::Window to allow for easy fullscreen toggling.

window.toggle_fullscreen()

Check the example for a minimal winit app that can toggle to fullscreen on pressing ENTER.

Future work

I plan to add an enum to allow a hint for exclusive or borderless.
