hello, since i installed wine and got starcraft to work, theres been really 2 main issues i have with it:

1) is there a way to get fullscreen apps to run in fullscreen mode?, because in starcraft when ever i try to move around (which requires you bring your mouse to the far end of the screen) the screen moves so that i see X as well as the game (the game takes up 25% of the total screen space, but you can only see 25% at a time)

so is there a way to make so the resolution changes, and i don't get screen bigger then the actually screen? (and i thought i told the X config to not make screens bigger then the actually display size to!)

and just wondering: is there a way to get colors in games like those found on windows (i must admit the brighter colors makes some things better, but I'm wondering if i can change it back if i wanted to, not that this is really that important)

In /etc/X11/XF86Config change:

SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection

To this:

SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 640 480
EndSubSection

That is the only way I know to do this, you could possibly write a script to change the file each time you need it, maybe:

#!/bin/bash
mv /etc/XF86Config.starcraft /etc/XF86Config

and another one to restore

#!/bin/bash
mv /etc/XF86Config.backup /etc/XF86Config

I am not sure if you will have to restart X each time you make these changes ( I suspect you will ) but I am sure you can get the script to do this and then run starcraft for you as well. Then after starcraft has finished change everything back.

#!/bin/bash
mv /etc/XF86Config.starcraft /etc/XF86Config
startx
/usr/local/starcraft/start # or whatever
mv /etc/XF86Config.backup /etc/XF86Config
# whatever the command is to kill the x server here

then cmod it with : chmod a+x script name. That might work when x isnt running. This is just a guide to something that might work, you will have to play with it yourself a bit.

it doesn't do anything for some reason, even with a server restart and such

is there a program that can change the actually resolution in X without a server restart? (ctrl alt (-+) ) only zooms in / out according to the XF86Config-4 file
