Make Window Fullscreen

[kdschlosser]

@topic2k

I saw you had added the actions for finding out if a window is minimized or if it is maximized. So I thought I would toss you this code to make a window full screen. and also to restore it to it's previous state. Maybe you might want to add it to the Window plugin to really beef it up. I do know making an application full screen has been something many people have wanted to be able to do. However we do not want to confuse this with the "full screen" option that is built into say a Media Player. With VLC it is the same. but others it may not be.
