Forcing full screen app to run in window?

[Whits]

Is there a way to force full screen apps to run in a window?


(when the apps' settings don't have a "run in window" option)

I don't think you can, not globally any way. If the app is anything like many DirectX games they go full screen because it needs full use of the DX/OpenGL. That said an app could likely be made to hook into the game as it is about to start and keep it in a window. That is how it has to be done on Windows, I am sure it is much the same because of the video requirements of some OSX apps.
