Question

get out of full screen in Messages

by Jan 8, 2014 5:08AM PST

I've just installed Mountain Lion, and instead of iChat, I find Messages. Somehow, by accident, I've put that onto full screen mode and I can't find any way to get out of full screen. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks

Getting out of full screen mode in Messages

Was able to get out of full screen by moving the cursor to the very top of the screen and get a menu bar.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Nice you didn't have to use all the ideas. Some scare newer users.
