Fledgling Fyora J Temperance Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I'm hoping there is a way to play Geneforge 3 (on PC) in a window as opposed to the full-screen option. I know I could do this in BoA, but I can't figure out how to do it in G3. Any help? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chittering Clawbug arkadilo Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Are you possibly trying to play GF3 while at work?! Oh my goodness if you are... I could see the need to have a smaller window that would be easy to minimize when the boss comes in. Welllllllllllllll....... I will say I've played all GF and Avernum and Exile games, plus a coupla other Spidweb games while at work... Probably been payed thousands of dollars to play games w/o them knowing over the past 8 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articulate Vlish Beatrix Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I know this isn't quite the same as being able to minimize the game, but since you are on a PC, your keyboard should have a window key (has the windows logo on it) right between ctrl and alt keys on both sides of your keyboard. I use this one a lot when I flip back and forth between playing and reading the walkthrough. Beats saving and reloading the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug arkadilo Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Holly, I am MOST thankful for the windows key that minimizes the program. I don't know HOW many times it has saved me from absolute shame for playing during work hours. Of course, I should be working right now, sooooooo.....

Easygoing Eyebeast Zeviz Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 If you are using Windows, there is an even better combination: Alt+Tab (Hold down Alt key and press Tab) This switches to the last program you were using before the current one. So if your last program was whatever you were supposed to be working on, it'll look like you are hard at work. Alt+Tab is also useful when switching between game and notes/walkthroughs. (If you hit Tab several times, you'll scroll through the list of previous programs, so you can select the one you want to switch to.)

Articulate Vlish Beatrix Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Wow! Even better, Zeviz. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Archmagus Micael Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 The problem with ALT + TAB is that it doesn't minimize the program, it just puts it "behind" the thing(s) you called up. And if the windows are different sizes... So if you're trying to hide things, the WIN key is probably better, but if you're just flipping through things, use ALT + TAB. Hope that helps! - Archmagus Micael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Timber-Wolf Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Pressing the windows key + d is also very useful as it minimised all the windows and takes you back to the desktop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
