Window Size?

Retro1234 · 21 January 2008, 18:27

Is it possible in anyway to make WinUae Windowed fill the Hole of the desktop? Ive been playing about but not realy been able to cover the hole of the desktop Ive also tryed DxWnd with different results?

Toni Wilen · 21 January 2008, 18:47

Use "Full-window" mode. (DxWnd?)

Retro1234 · 21 January 2008, 19:17

O shit -Now ive upgraded from WinUae 0.9.92 -WoW Full-Window that realy is very good

NLS · 21 January 2008, 21:32

from 0.9.92!?

oh come on!

Retro1234 · 22 January 2008, 16:29

0.9.92!? Well I had it set up as I liked it - although latest update is much better

Can this thread now be moved to UAE Wishlist as I dont want to start a new Thread - Would a Stretch to Fit be possible in Full-Window mode?

Done. Possible, yes, but I think it would look too ugly.

Ok thanks for the Reply - If I tell you what im trying to archive then maybe you can tell me what in theory what is possible and whats not - What I like to do is run WinUae-OS3.9 as my main OS

Fine I could use Full-Screen but Id also like to WinLaunch a few programs and im guessing launching windows apps over full-screen will never be possible so Full-Window is my only option but although very good does not fill the hole screen?

Boo Boo - could you not launch WINUAE full screen and then use ALT+TAB to switch programs back to the PC?

Toni Wilen · 23 January 2008, 10:29

Try D3D or OpenGL filters, they should fill complete screen. (I forgot about this special case.. Someday this will be configurable option when any filter is enabled)

Retro1234 · 23 January 2008, 11:22

Ok thanks that does work with AGA - I never realy had a fancy display but now Im running a Picasso/UaeFix display as far as my limited knowledge goes this is the only way of getting a realy fancy display? and unfornatly the filters dont work with this dispay?

They don't and most likely never will. Just select same P96 resolution as your desktop resolution.

Retro1234 · 23 January 2008, 12:16

Hi Toni hope im not driving you crazzy

im still figuring out some of the display settings.

Ok Ive got my Desktop=1024x768 and P96=960x600 Full-Window
but if I select Desktop=1024x768 and P96=1024x768 Full-Window I get the Message "The selected screen mode cant be displayed in a window because desktop to small"

NLS · 23 January 2008, 13:58

and it isn't?

edit: full window takes all window borders out of the screen?

Attach/email both winuaebootlog.txt and winuaelog.txt (after you getting the error)

Toni Wilen · 23 January 2008, 17:26

Ignore previous mail. I found the problem. "Full-window" does not accept _same_ or bigger resolution than current "virtual" resolution. (virtual resolution = all monitors combined and I have 2 monitors AND also log file open which disables the test..)

Will be fixed in next beta but quick workaround: run winuae with -log parameter

Toni Wilen · 23 January 2008, 19:06

And there will be semi-experimental option to fill complete screen when using filters in next beta. It looks better than I expected.

Retro1234 · 23 January 2008, 20:03

Hi Toni Sorry I had problems with my User CP

-But now you get your praise this is Excellent it works I dont think your gonna get anymore transparent than this in using AmigaOs as main Os and Launching the odd Windowz App - Once again Thanks!

NLS · 24 January 2008, 15:47

Toni Wilen · 24 January 2008, 19:03
