Centering while in window mode.

Here you can talk about whatever floats your boat. Your favorite movie, sports team, etc. If it's a little racey, I suggest you post in R&R, otherwise we'll move it for you.

Centering while in window mode.

Post by Michael Slaunwhite »

Well I have really found that if you run SOW in windowed mode (say 1024x768) it really throws what little game I think I have into pure eye numbing chaos(delusional thinking that I am a good player :lol: ).

So I have found a solution to fix this, and finally lock SOW to a center position allowing me to stop twisting my turkey neck into weird positions, and keep my attention to the center of the screen.

Okay first a couple of screen shots, a small description, and where to get this cool utility.
[Description]
I wrote ShiftWindow when I got annoyed at the otherwise excellent EVE Online. It crashed most out of the times I tried switching tasks, using alt+tab. The first version of ShiftWindow could do little more that find the EVE window and then move and resize it.

The game worked perfectly in windowed mode, but most players like the look of the game in full screen view better. So I figured all that had to be done, was resize the window so that the client area of the window could fill the entire screen.

You can also set it up to immediately center for you when you run the game. This doesn't lock your mouse into place although there are utils for this already.

:blink:

Thats cool, but I only have one monitor. When I play the game in window mode it places it at 0,0 position, so I am only fixing the window position with the util.

I will definitely keep this in mind if I ever get two .

Thanks.
