Windowed mode only with max 1344 x 840

Apr 13, 2010 portishead link
Hi,

I run VO on a iMac 20" Alu with a max. resolution of 1680x1050 and a second monitor attached to it. OS is Snow Leopard.

I would like to run VO on the main screen in windowed mode but maxed so it fills the hole screen and I can use the second monitor for browking etc. but VO only allowes me a max resolution of 1344 x 840.

Am I alone with this? Can I manually override the screen resolution anywhere?

Thanks,
portishead

Been asking for this for a while. Not sure what the deal is with it, but right now, afaik, you can't max it to your screen res whilst in windowed mode.

Um. Last I tried this, it worked. Will try to reproduce tonight, if I remember it.

Edit: NM, confirmed. I suppose this should be in bugs?

It's a known issue. The game uses the same available modes in window mode as in fullscreen mode. Mac OS X does not allow windows to be bigger than the desktop so the game chooses the next smaller size.

There has been talk about adding a new 'windowed-fullscreen' mode but that's not a super high priority right now.
