Running in a 1024x768 window...?

Hi,

The first day I started playing SL, I had a 1024x768 window. Then, after looking at the menus, I toggled full screen... and from then on, I have been unable to minimize it to a 1024x768 window again!

There are only options for a lower resolution than that (up to 800x600) :-( Of course, I can go full-screen on 1024x768, but it's not what I want. It's very useful for me being able to be able to do stuff on the Mac and still have a pretty big window (at least 1024x768, but the bigger the size of the window, the better!).

What is the trick to run SL in a window at a bigger size than 800x600?

Surely it's something very stupid and quite simple to do :-) since it WORKED on the first time I played SL, and I wasn't even aware of it...

Yours,

- Gwyneth

Clear the fullscreen checkbox again. The resolution selection doesn not apply then and you can resize the SL window by dragging the lower right corner.

*blushes violently*

So simple...

*hits herself repeatedly on her head*

Oh gosh. I just assumed as there were no resize tabs on the window, you could not resize it, except from the menu or the control keys...

Many many many thanks Ezhar!

PS. I knew it must be simple :)
