Window Size
« on: June 19, 2009, 08:55:30 pm »
Just got a new laptop and I want to play DF on it.  I prefer to play in windowed mode.  However, the window is larger than my screen.  How can I fix this?

I'm not sure what version number it is, but it's the most recent May Day tileset.  Also, I tried fiddling with the screen size in init.txt, but nothing happened.

Sorry for the horrible doublepost... Posting on forums with internet slower than... A slow thing is very frustating.

Just in case: Have you tried adjusting the resolution of your brand new, shiny, hopefully fully functioning and satisfying laptop?

What's the native resolution of the screen?

If it's 1024x768 (or less), then the Mayday tileset simply will not work. 16x16 tilesets end up giving you a screen/window too large for that resolution.

Mayday's tileset defaults to 1280x800 in windowed mode. This is the size of your whole screen, so it'll be too big. You can't make it any narrower as the game can't cope with a width of less than 80 tiles, but you can make the window shorter. Set GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY in init.txt to a smaller number (a multiple of 16) and change GRID to the appropriate value (80 wide, and the size you picked divided by 16 high). You'll have to carefully drag the window to the exact center of the screen if you want to see every pixel, such that the window borders are off the edge but the game's 1280-wide main display fits exactly across your screen :)
