OS 9 Fullscreen Issue

I'm having an issue with SS not running in fullscreen (OS 9.0.4 in OS X Snow Leopard). I've tried to get it to run in fullscreen at 800x500, but the preference is forced back into Window mode each time. Not sure what to do. :roll:

Did you save the new prefs setting properly and then quit SheepShaver and launch it again?

If you use the latest SheepShaver build (1 February 2014), the setting full-screen vs. window mode is pretty irrelevant. You can toggle between full-screen mode and window mode by by pressing Control-Return while SheepShaver is running.

I tried the keystroke and it works - BUT - now the OS 9 screen doesn't fill the monitor from top to bottom. I have it set for 640x400, which is right for the aspect ratio, but OS 9 is a bit squished in the middle. Looks fine just as a window. If I run in 640x480, it fills the monitor but everything in the OS 9 screen is a bit flattened. Can't seem to win....
