I have never used window mode with iccup launcher before. I am wondering if its possible to make the window larger. Also, tell me anything else I might need to know. Sorry for this extremely noob question and thanks for the help.

You can use the "2x" button on the upper rigth corner to double its size.

You should also lock the mouse inside the window (left most butter in upper right) unless you're spectating a game. If I'm playing, all 3 are checked, If I'm not playing, generally only the right most box is checked (excluding the _ and X of course.)

^This. Apart from the 2x button, that's as big as it gets.

I love playing in window mode, especially given that win7 fucks around with the colours pretty hard too, but that's another story.

Does anyone know why window mode would run significantly worse than full screen?

Especially when I make it double size with alt f9, scrolling is brutal and big armies makes it unplayable

I've tried changing the priority and stuff but nothing seems to work.

When you use 2x window mode your mouse is half as fast.

I noticed a bit of a slowdown when I was playing window mode + there was an MSN window doing that "flash" thing when I got a new message, I just presumed it was because I was using msn+ and I had multiple msn tabs open, but interestingly it doesn't happen anymore.

Aside from that, how old is your pc? :S

Thanks a lot for all the help guys, I was experimenting with a friend who had windows 7. Thanks for the help, a mod can close this if they want to.

I won the OSL in Windowed mode. I couldn't play in fullscreen mode for some reason, so I just set my resolution low. Kind of a round about solution. I wouldn't try actually playing in Windowed mode though, because it makes your mouse lag and it's just not very easy to play with... but if you plan on watching replays, that'll do I suppose :O
