Window Modes

Each window in vvvv also has a node associated. In other words: some nodes in vvvv have an associated window. You can identify those nodes by their icons.

Nodes with windows can be displayed in four modes:

  • Hidden: only the node is visible
  • InABox: node as box, containing the window
  • Windowed: node with separate window
  • Fullscreen: window visible fullscreen

Use the following shortcuts to switch to the respective modes:

  • Hidden Alt3
  • InABox Alt2
  • Windowed Alt1
  • Full Screen AltEnter

As an alternative quick shortcut to toggle between the hidden and windowed modes simply rightclick a node.

note:
There is a difference between hiding and closing a patch (or any window) in vvvv:

  • if you hide a window ALT3, its associated node will still be part of the system and continue working
  • if you close a window CTRLW, its associated node will be removed from its patch and thus no longer be part of the program
