You can change the refresh rate either from the Monitors & Sound control panel or from the resolution pop-up in the Control Strip. If you select 640x480 or 800圆00 with a 5 Hz refresh rate, SheepShaver will revert to window mode. Command+F1 would bring you back to SheepShaver from any other workspace.Īlternately, you can return to BeOS by changing SheepShaver's resolution. In this example, if you were in SheepShaver, you could get to workspace #2 by pressing Command+F2, to workspace #3 by pressing Command+F3, and so on. Thus, in Figure 11, SheepShaver occupies workspace #1, and reading left to right in the top column, the next workspace is workspace #2 the next, workspace #3 with the Be logo window in it. The workspaces are numbered from left to right and top to bottom. Each workspace has an internal numeric designation. The answer is built into BeOS, which allows you to use keystroke combinations to move among workspaces. This, of course, raises the question of how one gets 'back to BeOS' from SheepShaver. When you're in that workspace, it's as if you were running the MacOS directly. When SheepShaver is in full-screen mode, it takes over an entire BeOS workspace.įull-Screen Mode In full-screen mode, the SheepShaver MacOS environment takes over an entire BeOS workspace (whichever one is active when you launch SheepShaver). Once in full-screen mode, you can change to window mode by selecting a screen resolution that is paired with a lower-than-70-Hz refresh rate. Selecting a resolution with a refresh rate of 5 Hz will change SheepShaver's resolution but will leave it in window mode. (See Window Mode, below, for information on changing the window-mode refresh rate.) Selecting any resolution that has an accompanying refresh rate of 70 Hz will put SheepShaver into full-screen mode. You can set SheepShaver's screen resolution and refresh rate from the Mac's control strip or from the Monitors & Sound control panel. Once SheepShaver is running, you can change resolutions from the resolution pop-up in the control strip or from the Monitors & Sound (or Monitors) control panel. The first time you launch SheepShaver, it will come up in window mode with a resolution of 640x480 and a refresh rate of 5 Hz.

In full-screen mode, the actual refresh rate is determined by the resolution of the workspace in which SheepShaver is running, which is set in the Screen preferences panel. In window mode, SheepShaver gives you a choice of several different refresh rates. At higher resolutions, only full-screen mode is available. At 640x480 and 800圆00, both window mode and full-screen mode are available.

Setting SheepShaver's Resolution and Refresh Rate SheepShaver supports six standard Mac screen resolutions, ranging from 640x480 to 1600x1200 pixels. Having more than one monitor connected to your Mac when you run SheepShaver is not a problem, but only the monitor that contains the menu bar will be active.

Window mode is slower, jerkier, and less responsive.Īlthough the MacOS supports multiple monitors, SheepShaver doesn't. In fact, when in full-screen mode, SheepShaver will respond as though you were running the MacOS without BeOS as an intermediary. Performance in full-screen mode is far superior. SheepShaver (MacOS Runtime Environment), continued Display ModesĪs stated previously, SheepShaver supports two display modes: window and full-screen.
