Full Screen?

I am new to THF.
I just got everything working but the EQ window is pretty small.
I tried changing resolutions on the options tab when I first log in but it doesn't seem to change anything.

Is there anyway to make it full screen, or at the least a window that covers most of my screen?

Hi there, I'm away from home so I am working from memory, but I may be able to help:

Simplest answer: Full screen is toggled with Alt + Enter when you're playing.

More complex answer regarding resolution settings:
There are two ways to change your resolution. Options in-game is one way. It simply saves the values to eqclient.ini. If you want, you can go right into the eqclient.ini and do it yourself, which is the other way.

One of the problems I used to encounter was that my default settings would occasionally get overwritten. Chat filters and key bindings mysteriously reverted to defaults. The solution was to get eqclient.ini just the way you want it, and then set the file to be Read Only.

I play in 'windowed' mode with the window maximized but not full screen. Here are my settings to make that happen (my WindowedHeight value is less than 1080 to account for the frame of the window):

[VideoMode]
Width=640
Height=480
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
WindowedWidth=1920
WindowedHeight=1009

Hope that helps!

thanks very much.
I was able to get it working messing with those settings.
here are my settings in case anyone can use something similar
my pc is running and 1920 X 1080

Width=1650
Height=1080
WidthWindowed=1920
HeightWindowed=1080
WindowedWidth=1920
WindowedHeight=1080


I also had to set the following so the window would be in the middle of the screen, although this setting is strange and not always consistent so take with a grain of salt, and always make a backup before editing:

WindowedModeXOffset=-3
WindowedModeYOffset=-3
