StarCraft Windowed Mode?

[coRtALoS]

Soooo are there any mods out that will allow StarCraft to run in windowed mode for the current patch?

I downloaded this mod, but I'm wary of using it before getting someone else's recommendation.

Right here;

Windowed

Edit: Noticed your link was to the same thing, but ya i heard this works.. don't use it though i have no need

 

[coRtALoS]

I had to download some additional files for it to work, but it does.

Biggest problem now is it's a little glitchy, and you can't move your mouse out of the window. Still have to Alt+Tab out.

Ah well, does what I need it to.

Are there even any benefits to using a windowed version of StarCraft?

Easy way ti get to other programs like WinAmp and StealthBot, or even to upload different haxx0rs

Or a map editor if you're testing a map you're making.

Okay, that makes sense. But you could do it just as easily with a normal version of StarCraft, as far as I'm concerned. And coRtALoS says that you still have to Alt+Tab to get out of the window, so it's essentially the same thing. Am I right?

No, not entirely correct.
Since Starcraft is set in such a low resolution option, your video must reconfigure each time you ALT-Tab your way out unless, of course, it is in windowed-mode.
I like to take full advantage of a large Display. No wasting pixels here! =D

Find me a 1280x800 mod so I can play Starcraft on my fancy new notebook.

 

[Lord of Nukes]

You can't. starcraft.exe is written so it can only play in one resolution. You just have to hope your screen settings will allow StarCraft to stretch to fit the screen.

I know, I was sarcastically bragging about how cool my new computer is.

That would be indeed useful, too bad it doesn't work .
