Just wanted to add, that the A7 engine window still resizes my desktop area to the current resolution. This means all applicaton windows (SED, Browser, ...) are resized as well when not working in maximized mode - it is really annoying!

I have experienced this problem when running a fullscreen application - no matter whether A6, A7, or something else - and switching to the desktop while in fullscreen mode. I think this is normal Windows behavior.

Or do your windows keep their wrong size when you don't switch to the desktop, but terminate A7 normally?

No, it does not. But still, all windows stay resized. I don't have this problem with any other Windows Dx game, so I don't consider this behaviour normal.
Also I did not switch to the desktop while the engine was running. I just came back to my desk after terminating the engine using F10.

And yes, this problem also occurs with A5. A6 probably as well, I cannot test this one

*cough* switch to mac *cough*

I've had this problem on two different PCs.... One running Win98 and another one running Win XP...

Actually, is there a way to adjust the resolution for widescreen LCDs?

To explain the problem better, I'll post 2 screens here.
First one is beofre running A7, second one is after running A7 in fulslcreeen at 640x480.

The size of the screenshots is untouched, this is why they are so big.

My computer neve likes to have the Res resized when entering a full screen app. So for making your games I would keep the Res the same as the destop or move the destop size to the size of your game for that time.

Windows does that, if the application window isn't maximised, it will be resized, so it won't overlap. Then again, it isn't able to restore the old size of the window. so it stays like that.

It's even more annoying with dual-head view, the windows are forcefully moved away to the second monitor and not restored, normally the windows are at somewhere middle, tho it depends on the resolution I use.
