When opening a file from Bridge, it opens in Photoshop in Standard Screen Mode. How do I get it to default open in Full Screen Mode? CS3 does that, but the CS4 default to Standard Screen requires an annoying extra step for me for each image to change to Full Screen Mode. I've tried defining a new workspace while in Full Screen Mode, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Use the annoying application frame.

That seems to have done it- thanks!

Maybe you should try it Buko, you might find it's quite helpful. No more having to switch your mac desktop to grey, using 3rd party apps to hide desktop icons, etc. If you're using exposé, (which any mac user SHOULD), there's no need for doing the old os9 method of moving document windows out of the way and hunting for other app windows below, so you might as well have the colour-critical preferred grey backdrop.
Some of the users here jeered me, praising the fact that adobe seemed not to be listening to our requests to have the app window brought over to the mac side. I'm glad they were wrong.
Btw, can anyone confirm if double-clicking in the grey area brings up the open file dialog? (as it does in windows) I don't have CS4 to play with yet.

I have, its annoying. I don't like it. It ruins my workflow

I'm with Buko on this one. It's in the way and very annoying.

In the way of what? Blocking out the icons and whatever non-colour-friendly desktop background you may choose? I never understood people's position on not liking the grey app frame. There was never a good explanation for it, other than to say "it's like windoze, ergo, it sucks."

Its in the way.

Its cumbersome.

It has nothing to do with Windows.

I have used it

I know what I'm talking about.

If you like it fine.

I don't like it. I don't have to.

Sounds like a good explanation to me.

Ditto!
