    ZQuest Double Sized

    Isn't a way to make ZQuest double-sized (like sbig in ZC itself) long overdue?

    Running ZQuest full screen is a hassle because it causes display problems (that don't go away after ZQuest is closed) in certain programs, prevents easy access to other programs, and will look somewhat blurry on an LCD.

    On the other hand, running ZQuest windowed is much too hard to work with in a display of 1024x768. Think of tile editing when you have to have cursor accuracy of a few pixels. I'm sloppy enough with setting out combos on a screen when 320x240 takes up the whole display.

    Who concurs?

    Re: ZQuest Double Sized

    oh, I do. I use 1024x768 resolution as well, and ZQuest looks so small on my screen in windowed mode. I'd love to be able to work like that, but it's so small I can hardly see anything (not really, but compared to fullscreen, it's a huge difference)

    I agree. I would love to work in ZQ windowed, but it's just too small on 1024x768.

    I do have to second this. This is something that would help people out a lot. I have tried many times to do ZQ windowed, but it never worked, because everything was just too small.

    Re: ZQuest Double Sized

    FCF added a scale option a while back. Add the following to the end of the command line:
    -scale 2

    If it's still too small, change the 2 to a 3 or 4.

    If I reacall some of you tested that function and had mentioned soem things about it. Maybe I was wrong, but I distinctly remember the thread in which it was introduced.
