re: minimize button for tactical combat

[davidx]

hello,

any chance of adding a window minimize button during tactical battle phase in a future patch? cntrl tabbing out, launching task manager, minimizing window manually is generally tedious.

Press Windows Key+D. It will send you to desktop.

hello,

Windows Key+D does seem to approximate the window minimization of GTOS, there are some usability issues. Using the Windows Key+D returns to the desktop with every window minimized, but if another window is restored, the back ground screen desktop goes entirely black/blank,  and any click action within this black background automatically restores the GTOS full screen window.

Using the prior used technique of alt-tabbing out and minimizing via task manager displays no such idiosyncrasies in the behavior.

If it matters, the OS is winxp sp3.

Under options, I cannot remember which (Video, Special) you MUST "run in window" DISABLED.

Then, when in the tactical game ALT-TAB will minimize.

When not in tactical ALT-TAB will return you to the desktop with game being your background, but unlike with the above ENABLED, the UI objects of the operational game will not be enabled.

This works for me:  Win7 Pro 64b.

6.03 under SPECIAL SETTINGS must be DISABLED.  ALT-TAB
