Window mode |
|
The size of my monitor pretty much forces me to play in window mode. I dont mind this, but i dont like the window minimizing everytime i click out of it.
Not just when im playing, because i can control my mouse with a degree of accuracy. But id like to be able to browse the net or do something else while still being able to sit in a game with my eye on the message log.
I heard that its possible to do it with d2loader, but i dont even want to chance it, as its not just my account on the line if blizz someday wants to ban people for using it or i get a dodgy copy of it.
There MUST be another way of doing it, maybe by playing around with windows [windows XP] settings.
Anyone?

He's asking if there is a way to disable minimizing when playing D2 in window mode. As far as I know, there's no solution that doesn't involve a 3rd party program.

When youre in window mode, if you click outside of the d2 window, it minimizes to the taskbar. I want to be able to click outside of the window without it minimizing.

if you use a loader, you can use the -nohide command in the same way you use -w to make it windowed. so "c:\program files...." -w -nohide

Im not prepared to risk a friends account if Blizz decide to ban people for using a loader.
I thought there would be something simple and obvious in the registry somewhere, no luck yet.
