The BeOS Tip of the Week

 

Thank you for giving the BeOS a try on your computer! In an effort to improve your experience with the BeOS, and to help you get the most out of your computer system, we're going to be providing a BeOS usage tip every week. So bookmark this page, and come back every Thursday!

 

This Week's Tip


Big Screen Surfing

Take advantage of your pixels before they know what hit them.

Depending on where you're browsing, you may want to view a website in the biggest possible window. Other times, you may want to keep the NetPositive window off to one side. Either way, it's no fun stopping to drag borders around.

With NetPostive, simply use the View, Fullscreen menu option to quickly switch between your current window size and the biggest possible NetPositve viewing area.

If you want to be really fast, keep a NetPositive window open and set to full screen in a separate workspace. Then, big screen surfing is always just a hotkey combination away (see previous Tips regarding workspaces for details).
