About TeXShop Full-Screen Windows The next new feature may look somewhat strange on a desktop machine with a large monitor, but will immediately make sense if you have a portable. The feature allows windows to be maximized so they fill the entire screen, hiding the menu bar and in some cases the toolbar.

To use TeXShop, you need to learn TeX or LaTeX. The following books are recommended. The first, by the author of LaTeX, is short, and the other three are detailed and comprehensive.

TeXShop is a front end to TeX and LaTeX, but when TeXShop typesets, it calls command line programs in an underlying TeX distribution. This distribution must be obtained separately.

During the second decade, TeXShop benefited from Apple's solution of the fragile base class problem. It got automatic saving, tab support, and better memory management. Notice Apple's new design for the toolbar.

Developers working with the TeXShop code base may wonder why there are two objects, MyPDFView and MyPDFKitView, in the code. Now they know. The conversion to PDF Kit was the right move because Apple continues to develop PDF Kit and TeXShop then automatically inherits their improvements.

At WWDC I had a portable, and I noticed the TeXShop used virtual scroll bars. Later back home, I ran Lion on a desktop machine and saw legacy scroll bars, so I thought ``Apple changed their mind for the golden master.''
