I love this feature, but when running more than one client, it always snaps to the "primary" monitor. Is there any way to make it windowed fullscreen on the monitor that the app is currently running on?

Mag-tools has this feature and its configurable. You can put it wherever you like.

Hey Mag... thanks for that. What a great plugin! I love all the features you have in this. I'm gonna get rid of alinco altogether I think.

Now I only have one bug/complaint. When i have the "remove window frame" option on, and I login, it hides the taskbar properly etc... However, if i click off to a web browser, and then click back to the game, the task bar overlays the game instead of going behind it like i would expect. If the remove window frame option is off, the task bar is hidden when I click back on to the game, however the bottom of the game is cut off due to the window frame at the top.

I tried a few times, with the position "not set", and the default params of X:-3, Y:0 (-3 is the highest I could get without the OS snapping it back down a little). I just can't get it to work. I'm on windows 7, and my game resolution is the same as my monitor resolution. Somehow, this did work properly in alinco3. Any ideas?

You can edit the config file manually to fine tune the location.

Its in My Documents\Decal Plugins\Mag-Tools\Mag-Tools.xml

You'll prob just want to set X and Y to 0, and use the remove window frame option. That will put it exactly top left of the screen without the frame.

If you still want the windows border (not really needed if you're using a fixed position), you can still do that and manually set the x/y positions to something like -3 -12 and that might work as well. I don't know if windows will still snap the window back into the viewable desktop space.

As far as the task bar, I'm not really sure.

If after you've tried everything and are still unable to get it to work as you desire, I could look into tweaking it for your needs.

Hey Mag-nus,

Just a follow-up. Manually editing the coords to 0,0 made it work. Now the taskbar disappears as I would expect. Sweet! happy

sergeantstab, I can't seem to edit it manually. Did you do it ingame or through a config file? I can't find anything.

edit:found it.
