From IRC 13th April 2018 andythenorth: ln: is this still? #4449 |
Might be worth switching from fullscreen toggle to a tristate like many games have these days: Windowed, Borderless Window, Fullscreen. Bonus if it can be implemented on other systems too. |
@PeterN Is the real fullscreen mode even relevant or practically possible on other systems of today? |
Yes it is. |
@PeterN Thank you for your verbose answer. Can we agree that implementing your proposed bonus stuff for other systems is out of scope of this issue? |
@PeterN How does one operate a tri-state fullscreen toggle by pressing Alt-Enter? |
FYI, I am not going to waste my free time learning how to add a tristate toggle to settings, as this PR is never going to get merged anyway. From my point of view this PR is complete, and I am not going to touch it anymore. If others wish to improve it further, be my guest. |
Well, seems some wires got crossed here. Some comments in the issue, some in the PR (#6794). That is not helpful :D All modern games have a tri-state, and for good reason. Depending on your setup, borderless or fullscreen can be preferred. Adding a tri-state should be easy for us, via the settings menu. Alt+enter should always switch to fullscreen (not to borderless); and in the settings where you configure the resolution you should be able to set: borderless. This of course also locks the resolution. One weird thing about OpenTTD that always annoyed me: fullscreen goes to the current configured resolution, instead of the native. But that might be something for another issue to pick up :) The current PR (#6794) changes fullscreen into borderless. I think this is the wrong approach, as it removes fullscreen for those who do want it. In other words, it would be a regression for them. So adding a tri-state seems the only good solution for this issue. |
I would suggest going a step further than having a tri-state, and instead have each video driver be queryable about possible display modes, and offer a menu of all driver+mode combinations. E.g. you could get options |
Thanks for this. There's been no activity on this for some time, and as it stands, it doesn't look likely that it will go any further. I'm closing it as we try to keep the issue count low for OpenTTD, it helps us focus on things that are important and fun. Feel free to discuss in irc or request re-opening if you disagree. Thanks for contributing! |
Yes, OpenTTD fullscreen permanently resizing your desktop certainly isn't fun, so makes sense not to focus on this one. |
Locked, life is too short for arguing about boring things. |
