Display Overlord adds methods and classes to gather video device  
capabilities and capture displays, providing full screen environments  
suitable for games, multimedia presentations, or kiosk applications.  
While captured, Display Overlord locks out other applications and  
system-wide widgets such as the Mac OS X Dock and Exposé functions.  
Backgrounded application windows and desktop icons will not be  
disturbed, providing a safe and user-friendly method to temporarily  
change display resolutions.

Version 3.0 is no longer a C plugin, but a total re-write using  
REALbasic declares, featuring clearer, more sensible, and better  
encapsulated APIs. This new release also fixes numerous bugs and has  
new options to disable standard Mac OS X Command-H (hide) and/or  
Command-Q (quit) key combos while captured.

Display Overlord is compatible with Mac OS X Universal, Intel, and  
PowerPC (Mach-O) targets. The free download includes full source code:

Thanks,
Frank.
