Making programs run in windowed mode
« on: November 25, 2009, 08:31 PM »
I have some games and programs that normally run full screen, but when I used shortcuts I forced them to run windowed by putting -window at the end of the target. I was wondering how you could make something run in windowed mode from circledock. I saw the arguments section of item settings, but I don't know what that does.
Thanks!  :Thmbsup:

The -window you add is called a Command Line Argument and to achieve the same result in Circle Dock, simply type -window in the Arguments box in the Dock Item Properties dialog.
