Do you play DF in windowed mode or full screen mode?

I play in windowed so I can watch TV, browse the internet or listen to music while im waiting for my dwarfs to get big jobs done. I have no room left on my screen though I need to get a bigger screen

Windowed, fullscreen isn't nice to my square fonts

windowed.  I usually have some work open at the same time. Being distracted like that would explain why all my forts crash and burn though.

I go fullscreen unless I have something else to do. This is mostly because my old comp could barely run 2D DF fullscreen, and could get like .1 FPS when windowed. My new comp smokes, well, everything, and I've run DF while working on large composite images in CS2 without any real slowdown.
But fullscreen, definitely. I don't use tilesets either; I just find the default ASCII characters and colors aesthetically pleasing. (OR maybe it's because I'm colorblind and like high contrast   Either way, windowed just doesn't seem very appealing at all.

I usually play fullscreen when I want to play. When I'm testing or otherwise doing unimportant stuff, I play windowed. I also switch to windowed when I dump world maps, because the 8x8 font leaves a much smaller image size than 16x16.

Windowed and with a tiny font, so I can play at work :>

Fullscreen. I have tried playing windowed in order to use utilities but for some reason it breaks the suspension of disbelief.

[Eagle of Fire]

Fullscreen all the way. I find those windowed fonts so ugly...

[Sowelu]

Windowed. I alt-tab constantly, and DF has more waiting than most games, anyway.  This does tend to get me killed when I leave it running in the background "just for a minute".

[JoRo]

Windowed for me.

[valcon]

windowed

2 monitors, plenty o' room

[Lightning4]

Windowed. I can't bring myself to use fullscreen at all.

[DJ]

Full screen, because dwarves look so much better. I can't stand looking at those beardless smileys in windowed mode.

[sorbius]

I am mr. multitask so I play windowed.  also wierd resolutions for square tilesets(like 1440X400) usually need windowed anyway.

[Bricktop]

I play fullscreen... something about windowed mode hurts my eyes.
