Oh cool thanks for hte hotkeys and descriptions of those buttons

W-mode is great for recording vods and for watching reps.

Sucks for playing tho I just can't play on a screen that small lol

Am I the only one who doesnt think this is the greatest thing? It is nice if I want to just chat on bnet or maybe for watching replays, but to play its terrible. Fullscreen is so much nicer when you are playing a game. The window is all small and it isnt the resolution I am use to. I have a widescreen, but the window is the shape of a normal screen. So everything in bw doesnt look the way I am use to and it is bothersome.

wmode is awesome for replays

it would be so amazingly better if there was fpobs as well so I wouldnt have to scroll around

Whenever I run with windowed mode, when I'm in a game, I cannot use my keyboard. It gives me an annoying beep like its disabled, so no hotkeys or chatting etc in game = unplayable.

Anyone else having this problem or fix?

edit: If I create games its fine, its only when I join


Just alt tab into firefox or w/e other program you have running then go back to the window.

No not really. I feel the same way, but I wanted to let everyone know the option is available. I mostly use it when idling in a channel or watching replays too.

Why? Windowed mode is practically useless for playing. The unit selection box is ridiculously small and you don't really want to ladder with that anyways.

Anyways, that comment was really just to irk you, I'm sorry. But the Iccup programmers probably have better things to worry about.

i've tried previous incarnations of windowed mode on SC and it was always laggy as hell. i look forward to trying this incarnation and i hope it works

That was also my primary concern when I tried this out a few months ago. I'm on widescreen, and the 640x480 window makes text kind of tiny to read. Yes, I could change resolutions, but I'd rather just watch in full screen then.

You can't really to do that you'd be stretching the playing screen which would cause artefacting and other image errors like when you set a low quality youtube video to full screen on a high resolution monitor and it looks like utter shit thats what you would get. When you run starcraft it switches down an obscenely small resolution so it appears bigger but is really just resizing the resolution not stretching it.

I guess the only useful thing for me here is I don't have to tab in and out while not playing no more.

Yea it irked me gj. Use ur brain. People would rather use one launcher that contains all functions than two separate launchers with overlapping functions with a few exclusive ones.
Oh no

I would like a window mode for the ICCUP launcher. I hate the widescreen stretch when I play on my laptop. The feel is annoyingly different from my desktop 4:3 monitor.

Someone tell ICCUP programmers to add window mode plz.plz.plz.plz.plz.plz.plz.
