GW window mode, non-resizable edges - Guild Wars Forums

I'm not sure if this belongs in Q&A or Technician's Corner but I took the safer option.

It's hard to phrase this question if the reader doesn't know my dilemma prior to hearing it. I like to use GW in window mode so that I can multitask more easily but I don't like accidentally resizing the GW window. This usually happens when I go to click on something near the edge of the window.

So my question is:

How can I make the GW window un-resizable? (non-resizable, unable to be resized)

If you press ALT + Enter It will window gw but use the same resolution that you were before you window it. So if you were playing full screen and had like 1920x1080 the window would still use that resolution but not be full screen if that makes sense.

Just try it and alt enter again to go full screen.

I know what you mean but for me alt+enter just toggles between fullscreen and window.

Don't think it's easily possible apart from stretching the window to max, so that accidental resize is hard to perform, and just multitasking by switching on other windows via the taskbar.

I believe this is more of a matter of Windows OS than GW.

You can't "lock" a window to your desktop, thats what your looking for, but you just cant. Because this conflicts with the very definition of a "window" in Windows.

Just gonna have to deal with it.

I think you just need to be more careful around the GW window.
