I guess this is not the intended behavior? Any ideas on this? Thanks!

Does IMP3's fullscreen mode look anything like it did in the original IMP (screenshot attached)?

(As in the above post, I cannot get to this mode, if I am understanding correctly that it does, in fact, exist).

Thanks.

I cannot get IMP to run in it's own screen as well. Not at all on my 3000 and onoy sometimes after multiple tries on my 500. And when it works on the 500 it is a 2-color screen.

Works great now. So it's still windows but on a dedicated screen. Nice, can set higher res, etc.

I kinda liked the hard layout of IMP1, I must say, as it felt more "demo" or "tracker" ish. This is probably more practical.

Is there still a "mark this mod as bad / disliked" feature? I don't see it in IMP3.

Thanks for the fix.

picked a screen resolution that wasn’t supported by my RTG card and now I get a black screen…went to the pref file in S and there’s nothing there?

how to edit the screen prefs so I can change it back to a screen mode that my RTG card can use again?

tried running it from shell as per readme from the original imp download on aminet but still same black screen
update:
tried running original imp and it loaded up but then screen comes up saying imp was updated to imp3 and to please restart program again but still same black screen? even tried rebooting

Boot with no startup sequence.
Or just switch your WB back to AGA and run imp.
Then press the amiga key and m to switch back to wb.
Now drag the wb screen down.
You should be able to see imp as it will be promoted to AGA.

won't work as I don't have a 15Khz monitor handy right now. Was thinking to delete all files on system and just start it up again.

You can try screenmode promotion tools, would make any system friendly screen opened by programs an rtg equivalent.
