[WAI]If resoultion matches desktop resolution, windowed mode is full screen anyway

from Elemental Forums

The question mark is in there because I don't know if this is a bug or not.

Let's say, like now, I'm running a 1280x1024 desktop.

If I set the game to be windowed mode and the resolution to 1280x1024, the game will end up being fullscreen anyway. However, if I set it to 1024x768, then it will be in a window.

Not sure if this is a bug or no, but I figure I'd report it and await dev. response.

WAI--most games work this way. Windowed mode at desktop resolution hides the borders and titlebar so that it *look* like fullscreen, yet you get the improved alt-tab speed and reliability of running in windowed mode.

Yes, I thought windowed-fullscreen was a feature, not a bug.

Definitely makes my life much easier, so I hope you don't "fix" it.

Okay, thanks.

Maybe I should report this as a Demigod bug then because that game does put the borders around it (thin borders, but they are there) :)
