Changing windowed mode resolution?

#1 October 5th, 2006, 05:53 PM

So far i only have the demo since my copy didn't ship yet from Ixsoft, but i guess i can ask already.
Is it possible to change the resolution (or rather pixel count) of the windowed mode? If yes how?
I like to run my desktop on 1024 and a windowed mode with the same size isn't all that useful, so i'd like to change it to 800.

Running on Windows? Simply go to windowed mode and maximize the window. As I recall, it wouldn't do this when I first switched modes (Preferences, Video, unchecking Fullscreen) but when I quit and restarted it behaved as a standard Windows application window.

That works, what i actually want is a *smaller* window.

Then simply resize it smaller by dragging the edge/corner of the Dominions window - used to do that all the time when I was playing blitzes and only had one monitor, so I could see when someone said something in the IRC channel.

There are switches that can be used with the icon so that it changes the settings as the game is called up.

Video Options has (at least for windows) a long list of valid resolutions. Including some whacky ones. So if you want to run fullscrene at a small resolution, it should be fine.
