Switch between full screen and windowed modes in game
« on: August 23, 2006, 07:35:00 pm »

Minor request: Could we have some way to switch between full screen and windowed modes without restarting? (F11 button, maybe?) I prefer the look of full screen mode, but don't like being locked out from other programs.

Thanks!

I just noticed that there's an old function sitting here called "toggle_fullscreen" that isn't linked to any keys.  And, it looks like it kinda works.  The font doesn't change.  I'm not sure how much of an issue that's going to be with opengl and so on, but I'll look at it.  I do not yet understand the issue with minimize when it is fullscreened, but if this works it would be a quick fix.

Change the init.txt and run the game in a 800*600 window, together with the fullscreen tiles.
