This fills the screen with the game window but it is still a window and the scrolling is not as good as in the full screen mode. Maybe it works better in the CD version? |
I can tell you unfortunately in CD version the scrolling is just as bad when set to desktop resolution, because some weird cursor behavior on edge of window oftentimes just
stop your scrolling at all. It's all just the same whether 800x600 windowed or desktop windowed, when you move the cursor "too fast" to the edge it will stop scrolling at all. Besides, the "movement sensor pixel" area is really obscuring some buttons on the map editor. You can't click the button without triggering an annoying map scroll. If the pixel area is set to low, the map stops scrolling now and then.

Currently, nothing beats the smoothness and hassle-free scrolling in the full-screen mode. Nuff said.
