mouse problems when using G-force in full screen mode

Post by juxtiphi »

when using G-force in fullscreen mode my mouse goes beneath all the running progs on my desktop, ie Winamp.

while the mouse is behind everything I cannot start or close anything untill i hit the escape button which sends G-force back to windowed mode and then my mouse comes back to the top.

I have been told to edit the prefs for the standalone version which I dont have as it didnt come with the gold version I purchased.

but that doesnt answer my question.

Why does the mouse go behind everthing on my desktop in the first place and how can I stop it?.

please, this is the second time I have purchased G-force and I would like at least a plausible theory from someone who knows what they are talking about.

thank you.

It sounds like the info you're looking for is that fact that our multidisplay device fullscreen support needs improvement. In other words, ideally, when one device is in fullscreen mode, users should be able to freely use their other display devices normally. However, developing that kind of Windows fullscreen mode support is a decent sized development commitment. It's definitely on our to-do list, but it unfortunately can't happen tomorrow (as much as I wish it could). We're currently in the market for a talented Windows developer but the flavor we're looking for isn't easy to find.

I expect us to revamp our Windows fullscreen support sooner than later.

Thanks,
Andy
