Full Screen Menu Option
An RPG Maker VX script written by Dark Gaia


Introduction
Every RPG Maker VX user knows that to toggle full screen mode you just hit Alt and Enter at the same time. But what happens when you give your game to people who aren't very familiar with RPG Maker (such as your friends and family) and they don't know this? As someone who presents their games to people outside of the RPG Maker community, I for one know that people will eventually send emails asking "how the hell do I put the game in full screen?"
This simple, plug and play script remedies that by adding a simple "Full Screen" option to your title screen menu, which will put the game into full screen upon selection.

Screenshot
Not needed. It's an extra menu option.

Instructions
Simply paste the script under Materials and above Main. Place it under any custom title systems you have installed.

Credit me if this is used. Free for use in commercial projects!

Compatibility
This script needs the original title menu window on screen to work. Thus, this script won't work with:

? MogHunter's Animated Title script
? DeadlyDan's Title Images script

It cannot work with the above two because they remove the menu window from the title screen, which this script needs.
It should work fine with most other title screen addons however, provided they use the menu window and not a custom image.

It's a great idea, but you don't need to copy and overwrite all of Scene_Title for it. As long as you don't overwrite the method, it will use the method that already exists.

So, you don't need to copy everything from Scene_Title, you only need to keep the methods you actually modify. So, from what I could tell, you only changed the methods create_command_window and update, so rather than having that big long script, you could instead just share this to be posted above Main and below the default scripts:

$keybd.call 13, 0, 2, 0
$keybd.call 0xA4, 0, 2, 0
end
when 3
command_shutdown
end
end
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Create Command Window
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def create_command_window
s1 = Vocab::new_game
s2 = Vocab::continue
s3 = "Full Screen"
s4 = Vocab::shutdown
@command_window = Window_Command.new(172, [s1, s2, s3, s4])
@command_window.x = (544 - @command_window.width) / 2
@command_window.y = 240
if @continue_enabled # If continue is enabled
@command_window.index = 1 # Move cursor over command
else # If disabled
@command_window.draw_item(1, false) # Make command semi-transparent
end
@command_window.openness = 0
@command_window.open
end
end

The script would be more compatible with some aliasing, but overall I think you did a good job and it's definitely a nice idea for a script. Good job
