Window Resizing

Post by mnewell » Fri Aug 17, 2007 11:35 pm

Hi All...

This is probably a stoopid question, but I'm new to WinEQ Pro. When I first installed and activated pro, I was able to resize EQ1 windows, but for some reason I can't resize them now. Is there some setting that I may have changed that caused this?

Thanks for helping a N00b.

If you right click on the game window's title bar, you should see an option in the menu that WinEQ pops up, "Lock Size". Make sure that's not checked, and you should be able to resize the window

Yes, I checked that and Lock Size is not selected (no check mark). Any other ideas why I might not be able to re-size the window? It was one of the key features that made me purchase Pro.

Thanks!

The only other reason you would be unable to resize the window is if the window's border is disabled. If the border is visible, and lock size is off, it should always be resizable.

Odd...border on too. I just don't get the re-size handle in the corner of the window like I used to.

Oh. Well me neither, but you should still be able to drag the border to resize the window

Just a question regarding this topic, is there a way to maximize the window, to have it dynamically fill the screen like it does for regular EQ?

I'm running at 1680x1050 widescreen desktop, and my EQ is at the same resolution, but I play with the taskbar showing (Lock size), but there is missing info/UI under the taskbar.

I can adjust the UI to be above it which is no big deal, but any context menus from right clicking spell gems/chat windows scrolls off the bottom of the screen (behind taskbar) and I cant see all the options. Anyway around this?

Think i figured it out by a reply by Lax in another thread, by setting a custom WinEQ Height in eqclient.ini.

I dont notice it any, but is there any video degredation when I set a custom height? it looks normal, but i notice when you size the window manually, it scales and keeps Height and width in sync.

The preserving aspect ratio is leftover from old EQ which did not update the display resolution when the window resized, and having a different aspect ratio would have caused squishing, making text hard to read and such. It should be fine now
