Windowed/Full Screen Display Dialogs

24 June 2002, 12:12

Here is a suggestion regarding display dialog settings in WinUAE. At the moment WinUAE has a single display setting which affects both windowed and full-screen resolutions. This means that if you set a resolution equal to your desktop's or higher, WinUAE cannot switch into windowed mode; it also means that you cannot switch out of WinUAE to multitask in Windows. Perhaps it would be useful to have a separate setting for windowed and full-screen modes in the display dialog, since many people like to run WinUAE at high resolutions?

What's so hard in pressing Alt-Tab ? I use WinUAE all the time in high resolutions and do surf the internet using IE in parallel. No problems here.

WinUAE is not ALT-TAB friendly. Firstly the screen resolution doesn't change when you ALT-TAB. Second, you can still see the Amiga screen in the background. If you switch to windowed mode first then you can multi-task no problem, but as I say, you're limited to using a full-screen resolution below that of your desktop.

Which Windows do you use ? With Win98SE all works as it should here, nothing of what you say.
