Windowed Mode Question

[joshriddle 29]

Hello all, when I recently set my SC4 to play in its own window, I cannot seem to make it fit to fullscreen. Whenever I click the maximize button it simply throws the window into the center of the screen. I want to be able to access everything on my taskbar and still stay in Windows while being able to see more of what I am doing.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You need to specify the resolution you want in the SC4 command line; the resolution is of the form "-r1920x1200". Make it just big enough to cover everything except the Task Bar. To get a custom resolution like this, you will probably have to add "-CustomResolution:enabled" to your command line as well.

Hmmmm, well, I just can't get it to run in Windowed mode. Any ideas? I have 64bit 7, Home Premium

You need to use the "-w" option. Did you do that?

@Tommy7777: Please create a shortcut to your desktop, and put -w at the end of the path.

Yes, I had the -w, but I didn't realize I also needed a -r1366x768x32 as well. Thanks though.
