I have a couple things to add to the "new" 2x windowed mode option. Some people I know who use it get lag. I still haven't figured out the reason in most cases but on my brother's computer Rainmeter was causing it. Since it causes lag for some of my friends, one found a workaround by opening up SC in windowed mode and then lowering his resolution. This made the windowed mode bigger as if it is 2x. Hope that helps someone but a better fix for the lag would be better.

dxWND has been out forever, which allowed Diablo I and SC and some other games to be played in windowed mode... But it wasn't that good only okay. This is a different program which works much better and is for SC only.

It only has two possible sizes, 640x480 which is the the native resolution of starcraft, and double resolution if you have the latest version of w-mode.

It's probably better to adjust your screen's resolution, then.

I do. I just used 2x windowed mode and I couldn't turn it off because the resolution was way higher than my laptop's screen.

Hey there,
I believe I have this classic problem with Chaoslauncher. I pressed x2 to make it bigger, but the window grew too large
and got out of the boundaries of the screen. As a result now, I am unable to turn it back to normal and it's stuck that way,
and it's a problem because i play by scrolling my mouse at the edge of the screen to move the camera, which I can't do anymore, and left arrow key doesn't work anymore, so arrow keys are out of the question either.
I've researched it for a while, and I tried everything, Alt+F9 to go back to normal mode and Alt+F10 to be able to drag the window doesn't work (tried with real keyborad, virtual keyboard and a combination of both).
Going to Task Manager, finiding the process and selecting fullscreen doesn't work either (where is the fullscreen option).Changing screen resolution doesn't change anything either, it just stops where the virtual screen ends.
I even deleted Chaoslauncher and re-extracted it, re-run it, but nothing, it seems it has everything saved from last time (maybe it has registries somewhere I can delete?).
What do?
Also, Thanks in advance :3

The window mode plugin saves its settings in the wmode.ini file. I forgot if it's in the starcraft directory or the chaoslauncher directory(Probably the SC directory). Deleting this file should fix your problem.
