1. Right click on your Chaoslauncher (or ICCup launcher) icon -> Properties. 2. Select "Run in 640x480 screen resolution" under Compatibility tab. 3. Run Chaoslauncher (or ICCup launcher) in Window Mode. 4. Position your StarCraft window perfectly so it aligns on all 4 sides of your screen (it takes little practice to position the top of the window, but it's pretty simple. Click on the red line and pull it up until you don't see red line anymore. If the sides are not aligned perfectly you won't be able to scroll with mouse in one or more direction while in game). 5. Use Alt + F1 to lock your cursor inside StarCraft window, so you can scroll normally in game. (you only have to do this once). With this workaround your desktop resolution will change to 640x480 everytime you start Chaoslauncher. That is also the resolution on which the BW is played so the game will appear to be in fullscreen, even though it's in window mode. (After you exit Chaoslauncher, your Desktop Resolution will revert to your original one without messing up your icons!). | ||

Sorry for saying that, I tried them both and XP is better (especially lol vista). So take this as not a trolling but a serious advice. =__= | ||

Search around on TL, I'm sure you'll be able to find it. yes, i used that fix too, it's pretty solid.. i do not know where it lies now, but that's definitely the best answer though.. | ||

That doesn't work for me. edit: I just straight up don't understand. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/FpwXN.png) | ||

But in that screenshot, your resolution hasn't changed to 640x480. Did you do 1-3 steps? Try going to Display Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> Adapter -> List all modes. Choose 640x480, True Color (32 bit). | ||

I use ChaosLauncher too by the way, and this is basically what I have This is my screen without alt+f9 http://i54.tinypic.com/1zbsyms.png And this is with alt+f9 http://i56.tinypic.com/2n6splg.png Is there really no other way except to run Chaos in 640 resolution? Thanks in advance. | ||

Thanks in advance. W-mode in Chaoslauncher is 640x480 resolution. When you toggle double size (Alt + F9), it's exactly that, double. So the resolution of a Starcraft window in 2nd screenshot is 1280x960. You can't change this. However, you can change your desktop resolution to fit the whole window, by increasing it to at least 1280 pixels in width and at least 960 pixels in height (depends if your monitor supports this big of an resolution). | ||

Did you change your resolution manually or did you right click on Chaoslauncher and clicked "Run in 640x480"? | ||

Only thing you can do is manipulate your desktop resolution to change the perception of the Starcraft window's size. | ||
