Final product and a new idea...

Welp, here is the final version of what I've been working on

The second post will contain the next little thing I thought would be neat...

What this new idea is is having a letterbox display (while on map of course). As I said, it will only be when the player is on a map. If the player is not on a map, then it's full window/screen. If everyone likes the idea, I'll finish it by adding the extra display stuff such as ASD...the minimap, however, is a different matter...unless the image is on layer 1-3, it covers the minimap and ASD...this means, no toalls...I do think, though that Stefan should do toalls like he has done them in the RC...put them in a seperate window

By the way...the letterbox is of windowed mode only (in the default window size settings)...I do not do fullscreen because it messes up my machine...plus it runs reall slow.

It would be hard to do a fullscreen letterbox because fullscreen is different for everyone...and making an image to custom taylor it would be impossible since changeimgpart can't go over a specific x and y value

Sounds cool but maybe the letterbox view should be optional? It's kind of a drag having an even smaller view area.

I suppose for in-game play (not during movie sequences) the letterbox areas could be smaller (the black sections) for a larger area...I'm just trying to make it unique...because no one else has done this before

I don't think the changeimgpart thing is true. Stefan changed it recently when I asked him about it

Still it would be more of a waste of time to make it customized for fullscreen people...the default window settings are fine...learn to deal with them

I can't stand fullscreen because for one it messes up graal badly and two, it's terribly slow.
