The suggestion : Allow the wiki-search/link to not automatically minimize Guildwars. Maybe add a 3rd button that says "Go, don't minimize" to the dialog.

Reasoning : I don't know how common this is but my system runs 2 screens so I can keep a webbrowser open on one and Guildwars open on the other. The current wiki integration (F10, /help etc) automatically minimizes Guildwars when you search or pull up a page. Since it will, by default, load in an open/existing browser instance the result is, the page loads on my second screen and I have to bring Guildwars back up on my first screen. A minor inconvenience, perhaps, but one that doesn't have to exist.

Adding a third button (instead of changing the default behavior of the current Ok/Cancel buttons) would allow both options to exist so for people who want to minimize automatically could but for those where its not necessary it doesn't have to happen.

I think it makes sense to give players this option. It could easily be selected in the options menu as well, whether or not the GW application should minimize automatically or not.

While I don't run dual screens like you do, I would rather the page load in the background (read: GW doesn't minimize) so that I can type my /help command in the middle of playing and move to it at my nearest convenience, with it preloaded for viewing.

i don't run gw in windowed mode, and i don't have two screens, but i too would prefer the wiki page to load in the background.
switching apps is only one alt+tab away.

I have a 16/10 screen. I can't play full screen because it looks horrible...

So I always play Windowed.

So, please, add an option to prevent minimizing, just Task change, like with Alt-Tab.

(By the way, an option to set the aspect ratio would be cool, but that's another thread)

Yeah, great suggestion!
