You currently should be able to get some full screen going by clicking the icon on the top left of the window (which should show window decorations), clicking the maximize button, and then clicking the icon to hide Window decorations.

The only issue right now is that if you then right click the icon on the top left of the Window, you may have your title bar disappear to the top of the screen. You can use windowskey + left or windowskey+right to show it again on Windows 10.

I will be changing how windows move due to introducing a new text window that has mouse click through. I will make a note to include a way to properly full-screen a window in this feature.

Thanks!
Thanks but I wasn't looking to fullscreen one of the overlay windows, rather I can't get either overlay to show if I have EQ in full screen mode.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can do this with the framework I am using (PyQt5). You could always run fullscreen borderless.

I would actually prefer to run full screen borderless. How are you accomplishing this? You have to pay for it with WinEQ right? I tried the windowed borderless program which worked except that it would screw with mouse clicking on the screen, everything was off by a few pixels.

Personally, I don't use WinEQ. On Windows 10, I have a shortcut to eqgame:

general, target: eqgame.exe patchme
general, advanced, runas administrator

compatibility, Compatibiliy mode: Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (service Pack 3)

compatibility, disable fullscreen optimizations
compatibility, run this program as administrator


Then I use:
https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming/releases

You need to run this program before you run Everquest. If I get a full-screen administrator check, it will freeze my eq.

I set my resolution to my desktop resolution, and the borderless-gaming thing makes my Everquest borderless fullscreen. You can set it up to automatically full screen your Everquest in the future and have borderless-gaming start on OS boot.

i found an amazing little piece of software on git-hub called Display-Lock - works so well! I used to use borderless gaming to do windowed fullscreen but this is even better. display-lock prevents the cursor from spilling outside of the locked window, and still has options to maximize the window and make it borderless. so good!

Looks cool. I constantly click out of Window so I think the lock would be annoying. At least there is more options.

Hey Mirox

This is a seriously handy bit of software, thank you for writing it.

For anyone else fed up of microsoft's warnings about the binary version, running the latest dev version works really well and avoids the pain.

Once you have python installed you'll need to "pip install" a few dependencies {pyqt5, request, gtts} but it's all really seamless and works out of the box.

The change to the windows layout in recent dev versions is a real quality of life thing for me, no more playing hunt-the-moving-line to cancel buffs when you click in the spells window.

I'm assuming that needing to edit the config json for things like spell cast level is only temporary while you work on profile support.

Once again, thanks for such a great bit of P99 CSR rule compliant software.

Thanks! I think I include a requirements (hopefully it is up to date) file in the dev branch, so you should be able to do:

Code:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Some of the new stuff I am doing requires Python 3.8 I think.

I am so close to a new release. Almost done redoing the entire trigger (so they can be portable) and config (now with profiles) systems. Once I finish the code, I need to do some testing, but once those items are fully tested, then I will finally do a new release.

I have tested the new binary and it is not triggering on Windows anymore, so hopefully the next release will have less of these annoying false positive issues.

edit: I will pull all the changes into the dev branch for the testing phase.
