Hi,
I tested a program in a Nvidia 7800gtx, and there was something weird:

- Altough the program was in fullscreen mode, there was an area of the screen where the desktop was still visible. This area is the right-most side and the bottom of the screen (like a rotated "L").

This is the code used for fullscreen:



I usually run the programs with an ATI videcard, and this issue does not appear. Any Nvidia users having problems?

Or maybe I should use a different setup...

To go full screen I use

void dbSetWindowOff ( void )

Have you tried this out?

V

I'm pretty sure I know everything. Doubts are something rare in me and I am never wrong, as this signature can prove.

Thanks Vlad,
I cannot test it by now, as I don't own any nvidia card, but shouldn't that turn it to "fullscreen exclusive" instead of "windowed fullscreen"?
I have my doubts about which mode is the best.

Yep, that will fill your all screen with the game window. No title bar or anything. Just like any usual full screen game.

Sorry if I couldn't be of further assistance but I never used maximise window since I never found it useful.

Ok, it works. The strange border line doesn't appear anymore.
Now I can see that Alt+Tab blankscreen bug

The idea is to then re-load eveything. Unfortunately you cant, as re-loading graphics fails (or at least when I last tried it).
