Fullscreen Helper

This is a script which will resize the main doug window at init to the full resolution. It will also add an entry to the right-click menu to show and hide the top blipper menu which can also be helpful for fullscreen mode.

**NOTE: There is a newer version of this script available which may be more applicable to your situation. Fullscreen Helper 2 **

Note that this is an alternative to the built-in "-fullscreen" command line option. If you haven't tried that, you may want to try that first as a simple way of running fullscreen. Sometimes, depending on the window manager and the X screen layout (such as NVIDIA's twinview) it can be more desirable to have a script do the resizing so that you can directly control the size. That is the point of this script.

To use, place in your $USERDATA/gui directory and then point to the script in the GUI block of your display context just like any other gui script (normally done in $USERDATA/user.cfg).
