On OS X Yosemite, I am trying to get GLFW to show an OpenGL window fullscreen. I have initialized GLFW with the current desktop resolution and primary monitor, but it creates a ‘maximized’ window, not a completely fullscreen one (I can still see the desktop menu and dock and the window border). Any help would be appreciated.
