Resizable Window Mode

[seb-eisdrache]

Hello,

what about a Resizeable window mode, so that we can fit our KSP as and normal Desktop Application?

You can run KSP in a window (just press alt-enter). It's not resizable though, not sure that's even possible.

Resizeable windows are possible in Unity:

Its just a little checkbox

You can set a custom resolution in the settings.cfg manually (for example I am running at 1280x720), look for these two lines:

SCREEN_RESOLUTION_WIDTH = 1280
SCREEN_RESOLUTION_HEIGHT = 720

Just be aware that any accepted changes in the in-game settings will revert you to one of the standard resolutions.

There is probably a way to force your favorite resolution choice into the in-game settings, but I don't know how

EDIT: It's just a temporary workaround, though. I would love resizable window as a native feature.

Interesting. I wonder if it changes the resolution dynamically.

It is possible to resize an OpenGL render context pretty much on the fly. Dunno about Unity (default answer for Unity is "no" or "yes, but with the following 8,235 caveats that are game-breakingly bad, which basically also means no"...).

One problem with editing the config file, however, is that if you change any settings, KSP instantly and automatically derps and forgets the custom-set resolution, and defaults to 1024x768. A workaround is creating a custom resolution in the graphics driver control panel, which will let you set it with the arrows, and KSP won't insta-derp it away the moment you change any other settings.

(I set up a custom 1900x1000 resolution - it gives me a window that covers most of my 1920x1080 desktop, but leaves enough space for easy centering, and the taskbar/etc. Note that it's important to not actually set your desktop to that bogus resolution..just the game )

With this option the resolution will change dynamicly, also the position of the ui elements.
