Hey, I've been using chaoslauncher windowed mode for about 6 months now, but all of a sudden when i deselected the option for windowed, it still remains in a smaller screen. I've tried using the regular Starcraft shortcut to launch it but it still remained the same. Any help?

Do you have DxWnd too?
Post your Chaoslauncher.log.
Is it in windowmode when you start starcraft.exe?
Did you install any SC-Tools recently?

I don't have DxWnd, and I have not installed any SC-Tools recently. When I start starcraft.exe, (for some reason it appears normal when i press print screen), starcraft is in the middle of the screen while the top and the sides are black.

So it is fullscreen regardless if you are using Chaoslauncher or the normal Starcraft.exe. But it does not stretch SC to the size of the monitor but remains in a letterbox.
This problem is probably related to your videodriver settings. In the videodriver settings you can ofter choose how programs with a lower resolution than the native resolution should appear.
This is how it looks for me, but it might be different for you if you use another graphicscard or another driver version.

1. Settings for the digital widescreen monitor
2. Scale with fixed aspect-ratio

is it just me, or is starcraft super slow when it runs on window mode?

Can you make a windowed mode that allows for larger windows? My default monitor resolution is 1900x1200, so Starcraft's native resultion is in a pathetically small box.

It would be nice to have Starcraft in a 1440x800 (or so) window, so I can internet and such in game, and have the window big enough to read and play
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

xenotron stopped developing the wmode plugin, so I can't do anything about it.

is there reaaally no way to uhh.. decompile it or something and fix?
I would love for W-mode to have adjustable sizes so that you can run it better on widescreen and on dual monitors. Pretty sure its a problem for a lot of people.

anyway, <3 MoC

I'm sorry to bump up such an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to only increase the window size by 1.5x, rather than 2x as the alt + F9 options does? Is there perhaps a way to edit the .bwl file?

OMG, thank you for this bump so much.

I've always loved the idea of a windowed mode, but the stupid window is too small. I never knew about the F9 command . . . until now.

Sorry I don't have an answer to your question :<

hmmm wondering if there's anything attached to the files.. AVG says it's clean but I ran it past jotti (online site that scans it via pretty much all the best scanners, avg, avast,panda,nod32,etc). The better ones came back clean but 4 came back and said the file either had a trojan or worm attached.. Running a scan now to be sure, but I didnt notice any extra processes running thus far..

You need the latest version of w-mode. You neeed to simply redownload chaoslauncher as w-mode does not autoupdate.
