It wasn't a forum or anything, it was a "Feedback & Suggestions" form you could fill out on the SE site. This was before the Lodestone was around, really. In fact that form might still even be on the site. Lots of people filled out these forms I'm sure.

no we did, Tanaka ignored us.......

Lots of great suggestions for achieving fullscreen windowed mode. It's a shame we are left to our own devices on this.

Wouldn't it be nice if Square Enix began releasing UAC-compliant, Unicode-compliant international DirectX Windows software titles? Maybe that's just the lunatic in me speaking...................

*Edit*

Dang. I forgot to mention that I posted this on Eorzeapedia in a thread about "What would you like to see in FFXIV?" back when the title for FFXIV had been confirmed (formerly "Rapture"). And I asked about alt-tabbing, Windows Key, Ctrl-Alt-Del, user account dialogs, unicode input, etc etc etc.

I might've been silly for thinking that not only would something have been LEARNED from FFXI, but that they'd push forward with INNOVATIONS, instead of regressions. :)

You wish is my command. Here you go.

Source Code: http://min.us/mLS6CRkNJ (For those that don't trust me.)
Exe: http://min.us/mqWFjPGTr
Exe for .net 3.5: http://min.us/mGSWC4lpy

This is a speed programming at its finest, which took me like 30 minutes to program, so pardon any mistakes I made and improper programming.

You need .net to run, but that should be installed already since most of you are using windows. I do not know if this works with XP or vista, but you can try. It should work as long as you have .net installed. Please do pester me about bug and stuff, I got a job, so this is really a side project. Plus if someone want to add, feel free to. Just keep me in the loop. Also feel free to distribute the program, it would be nice to credit me, but I really don't care.

This program assumes that your ff14 process is "ffxivgame", which Windows needs in order to find the window.

If this program is against TOS, I have no problem for mods deleting this.

Oh and about that autohotkey program. I don't like installing random programs on my computer. This does not to install anything really, unless you don't have .net.

I'm not responsible for anything that happens when you use this program.

I think Vista ships with .NET 3.0 or something and 7 with 3.5. The newest version is 4.0 though. Which version did you compile it with?

Yea its compile with 4. I am a bit new to c#, I primary program in java and c, but if you want try running it in 3.5.

Or you can just upgrade your .net.

Well C# is pretty much identical clone of Java, (even so much it went to court, etc) and C is far superior but less modern.

C# is pretty good for most purposes but you will always have to use some lower language to back it up when it comes to new hardware features or highly optimized stuff. Until now C# gave me far less trouble than Java.

Ill compile it with 3.5 when I get home. If not, you can always compile it yourself.

Edit: .net 3.5 version: http://min.us/mGSWC4lpy

AutoHotKey isn't really "a random program", it's been around for a while and I can't say I've heard of people being infected with viruses/malware due to using it.

Also, the part I bolded will probably scare a lot of people haha. "Here's a program I created (random guy on the internet), oh and btw I'm not responsible if this gets you banned or totally destroys your computer... have a nice day!" lmao

Smoke signals!

or they can just fix the bug.

I have had more problems with trying to get and keep a steady way of removing the border on the game window. Try as I may Icant get anything to work. Its starting to drive me crazy, I swear I think I felt a vein pop behind my left eye a bit ago while I was trying to yet again fix this.

Gamers window relocate = never works.
Shiftwindow = works sometimes/not reliable.
Autohotkey = need a collage degree in advanced Ancient Egyptian theatrical wormhole physics for all the sense I have been able to make out of it/Cant figure it out or simply dose not work Ive tried and cant tell whats the issue.
Reztic's Finalfantasy14 fullscreen .bin file = opens VLC media player, would be nice if I had some clue as to what to do with it after I download it.

I know that you guys an gals out there are just common folks but you all have gone further to address this issue than SE. And for that I thank you all for the efforts. But since it seems im retarded and cant seem to get this to work, could someone make an idiot's guide to how to fix this. Ill take any solution. Shift window would be nice if only it worked every time and not just 1 out of 10. Autohotkey ill use it but hell if I can configure it for my setup. The bin file thats for netframework. What do I do with it? Im not a computer programer. Just an average guy that wants to run dual screen so I can lookup crafting recipes while I play. using windows 7 ultimate 64 service pack 1 and play on a 1600x900 monitor. no crossfireing, Ill burn that bridge when I can afford another videocard.

Or since Im so desperate to be done with this Ill beg the SE programers to PLEASE for the love of God and in the name of all that dose not suck please please please just give us a simple borderless windowed option. You can do it. Thank you.

A friend somehow managed to get gamers window relocater to work 100% of the time. Still tho. >< for the headache's this has caused
