Windowed Mode Doesn't Work at 1024x768

from GalCiv2 Forums
So, I've read elsewhere that windowed mode doesn't work at 1024x768.

Is there any plan to fix this in a future patch? This is exceptionally inconvenient for those of us with laptop PC's with limited resolution.

Windowed mode does work at 1024x768.  The titlebar of the window is just moved off screen so that you can't see it. If you have WindowBlinds running, though, you will need to exclude GC2 from WindowBlinds.

Yup it works fine

I ran the game at this resolution in window mode for ages until i got the second monitor hooked up and now run two monitors together. To be honest there is little bonus in using the window mode at this resolution as the ALT+TAB feature was fixed some time ago. That said it does work though!

How do you exclude GC2 from WindowBlinds? I downloaded the GC2 desktop theme thingy that comes with the collector's edition - should I just remove it?

If you have windowblinds installed on your pc you just need to R.Click the icon in the Taskbar and go to 'Per Application' (under 'Settings'). You will see a button labeled 'Add per application setting', click this and navigate to the following (adding each time): -

C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\GalCiv2.exe

&

C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\GalCiv2\GC2Launch.exe

This will exclude them from being used by Windowblinds.
