Default Restoring Default Window Size

I have a simple problem that may or may not have a solution. While playing in windowed mode I accidentally resized the window, causing the aspect ratio to be distorted. I am wondering if there is a way to reset the window to its default size (or even its default aspect ratio) without trying (and most likely failing) to do it by hand.

resizing the window shouldn't change the aspect ratio.

if you want to change it back to the default 1024x768 window, maximize the game, then restore it to window mode. that should reset it.

It doesn't, Moriz. I play dual clients with gwx2 occasionally, and I frequently switch the window of my "main" char to fullscreen and back - GW remembers the last window size used and returns to that.

Pull the edges of the game to the edges of the screen and the taskbar. I don't understand why your aspect ratio changed. That's really weird. I'm playing on a 24" WFP, and my aspect ratio is fine... and if I adjust the windowed size to a portion of the screen, the game adjusts immediately to whatever aspect ratio my adjustments make.

sorry, what i mean is that the image will never distort when you resize the window.

in full screen mode, as long as you run at the correct resolution, there shouldn't be any distortion either.

Yeah I don't know why I thought it was distorting the aspect ratio before, it's fine now.
