Full screen problem (staying the same size!)
« on: October 24, 2010, 07:37:41 pm »

Hi there. I've just downloaded the latest version of DF for Windows Vista today and I've came across a problem.

When I hit F11 on my keyboard to go into fullscreen, but it will stay the same size of the display, on to the top left of the screen, and make the rest black. When I push F11 again it will make a bigger window then the original, and act like fullscreen as I described before.

Anybody else having the same problem? Or know how to make it? I've tried SDL and Legacy editions but they do the same.

Get into an actual game, the menus for embarking and legends and such WILL stick to the upper part of the screen, but when in fortress mode or adventure mode the map will fill the screen.

Use the mouse scroll wheel to resize your menu and embark screens.

When 31.16 comes up in fullscreen mode, the font size is highly reduced from what it used in prior builds. Mouse wheel to "zoom in" will fix it. Once you are embarked, you can zoom back out.
