If you can find the config you should be able to go back to windowed.
I know you are having a problem on that score too, so you could do an
un-install as that should clean all the files from your system and you can
start again.
Config.txt should in theory be here for your system
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/CorsixTH/config.txt or ~/.config/CorsixTH/config.txt

Looks like the same crash (it's the same apple crash report) as in issue
1605. They are both using MacOSX 10.6.8. But in that issue it crashes at
startup and here when you set to fullscreen. Maybe the guy who does the
MacOSX packages should look at this?

And also at that topic someone else also reported to have this crash and
having MacOSX 10.6.8 too. So, it seems to be an issue at MacOSX 10.6.8.

Thank you for the answer
How do I uninstall it, I cannot find the fill config.txt
I don't understand what ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/CorsixTH/config.txt or
~/.config/CorsixTH/config.txt means...
I have looked everywhere in my computer I cannot find any file call
CorsixTH except CorsixTH.app the one I downloaded.

These are the locations where the config file must be.

I have never used a mac computer, but in windows you can either open up a
command window or type it in a search window or type it in the start button
area (a field for search)
for uninstall there should be a menu item for that (in windows in programme
files list there is a folder for corsixth) do you have anything similar?
If so look in that for uninstall.
If none of this works you will have to wait for someone who has the same os
as you.

No I deleted all that was related to corsixTH and I rebooted my laptop but
it still doesn't work. I am looking for corsixTH file, it must be
somewhere. The problem is that I didn't put corsixTH.app in the application
file at the first launch I think it is why CorsixTH file is not in the file
application support as it should be.
Thank you for the help, I will keep looking for it.

Hey guys just to give you some input.

The config.txt file in OSX is not stored in the right place. It is stored
in /YOURHOMEFOLDER/.Config/

That means its stored at the root of your home directory in a hidden
folder. To edit your config file you need to write a command into the
terminal that allows finder to show hidden files and folders. (Its all over
google and only takes a second to do) - i too had the same problem,
selected full screen and was unable to play the game, was left with a blank
screen. Edited the config file and that allowed me to play in windowed mode
again.

May i suggest that in future builds you guys can store the config.txt file
in

/USERSHOMEFOLDER/Library/Application Support/CorsixTH/Config.txt

This is the standard format and location of config files on mac.

Back to my input on the video problems.

I am Running 10.6.8 too, on a Sony Vaio hackintosh (however it is using
apples native drivers for the onboard video etc) i have seen a few issues
on here with fullscreen errors in OSX, i guess im writing here to say
another 10.6.8 user is having this problem.

temp fix for fullscreen issue 10.6.8

open terminal enter command:

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

followed by

killall Finder

goto your home folder you will see a hidden dir called .config you can edit
config.txt there. Change fullscreen to false

if any of the devs need a 10.6.8 mac to fix fullscreen i can happily test
any builds and post and crashlogs etc here.

Thanks guys keep up good work.

Him.Rob: can you confirm the the temporary fix for this problem at comment
14 works for you? Maybe SDL2
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/corsix-th-dev/qr0u-bHPj0w) could
fix this issue?

Comment #16 on issue 1688 by Him....@gmail.com: Full screen crash - OSX

Yes it worked but I used the command : defaults write com.apple.Finder
AppleShowAllFiles TRUE (not YES)

Anyway thank you !

This fix worked for me too (same issue). I had to use YES, not TRUE in
terminal. Too bad the windowed version is so tiny. Is there a way to make
the window in the windowed version bigger? Config file maybe? :)

@17

Yes in the config you can change the screen dimensions, you can have any
size of window up to the size of your monitor. (you can go bigger too, but
that gets awkward)
I think you can also do that from one of the menus, but that could be in
the trunk only and not 0.21.

I think you're wrong Mark, you can change the resolution of CorsixTH also
at the in-game menu as long as I remember, so also in 0.21 or am I
stupid? :)

In the config look for lines like this

width = 800
height = 600

or look for the custom menu (0.21)there is a list to select and you can
also type your own in custom at the bottom of the list.

@Maarten: I did say I think you can do this from a menu in 0.21 as I had
not got access to a copy at the time. Clearly you can change it from a
menu as I have just downloaded a copy! It can also be changed in the
trunk, but the menus and their names and locations have changed remember!
