Hi Ashish,

To save you from going down a path you may have to return from:
I've used CoreGraphics fullscreen mode, however that's probably not a good approach for you, because if the user is pressing cmd+opt+escape, then the application just quits.
-So try avoiding that one. =)


Try Jim's solution, and check with cmd+opt+escape. If it works, it's probably the best way.


Love, Jens
