Maximise the window by dragging the title bar to the top of the desired window, # Additional hotkeys to handle windowed GW2. You’ll also need a script file to set the hotkeys. It’s intended to be used for multiboxing, but can be used to reposition windows, and get rid of their title bars, so you can run GW2 in window mode, and make it look like Windowed Fullscreen on the monitor of your choice. To do this you’ll need a copy of HotkeyNet ().

ALTTAB INTO GAME COMES UP ON SECOND MONITOR WINDOWS 7
With Windows 7 I’ve found a way to get GW2 to display on the whole of a display other than your main display, without it having a title bar or borders. The DisplayFusion program people have been recommending can give you a taskbar on all of the monitors, and you can set which monitor you’d like programs to start on, to save moving them every time you start them (it doesn’t work on GW2). Using either of these methods will make all programs start on the primary monitor/main display, but at least then you can move everything but GW2 to the other one, and put your taskbar on it too. If you have Windows 7, select ‘Screen resolution’ after right clicking on the desktop, and check ‘Make this my main display’ after clicking on the monitor you want the game to run on.

In the area where it show how your monitors are arranged, click the one you’d like GW2 to run on, and check the box labelled ‘Use this device as the primary monitor’. To do that right click on the desktop, and select ‘Properties’ from the popup menu to get the Display Properties panel. If you have XP, then your only option is to set the screen you want GW2 to show on in Windowed Fullscreen mode to be Primary Monitor, because that’s the only place the game will run. You didn’t say what operating system you’re using, so I’ll give answers for both XP and W7 (I’m not using a tablet so I have no use for W8). In both those cases, because it is windowed, the mouse can freely be moved outside of the window, without alt-tabbing.įullscreen is where the game displays on an entire screen, the mouse cannot leave that screen without alt-tabbing, and there is no way to move or scale the display area, other than changing which screen it is displayed on. That includes moving the window to any position, on any of the available monitors, and even scaling it (although the game will still be rendering at the same resolution, even if the window is resized much smaller). However, it can be manipulated so that it does not take up a whole screen, by third part apps, through the API calls available through the Windows OS. Windowed fullscreen is essentially the same thing, without the borders and title bar, and the game sets the ‘window’ to take up the whole of one screen. Windowed is where Windows (the OS) displays the game in a typical window, with a title bar with buttons, and borders that can be dragged to resize the window. You clearly don’t, because you can’t make the distinction between them, to see that I’m talking about different things.
ALTTAB INTO GAME COMES UP ON SECOND MONITOR FULL
I know full well the difference between windowed, fullscreen windowed, and fullscreen. I own a system with 3 monitors, and I’ve multiboxed several different games, (or run different games at the same time on separate monitors).

Please do not confuse window mode with fullscreen window mode there is a difference Like I said I’m completely new to this so I need a bit more help please. Even switching over screens in the display properties section doesn’t help, the task bar and icons are still on the left screen. GW2 seems to want to be native to the left screen in fullscreen or windowed FS mode no matter what I try. I tried moving the task bar over to the right screen, but the same thing happens. I can only run it on the right screen in windowed mode. Right now it won’t stay on the right screen if I do either of these options. I want to run GW2 in either fullscreen or windowed FS without it snapping back over to the left screen. I’m running my web browser and stuff on my left screen (where the task bar is atm) and GW2 on the right. I also tried dragging out the edges to the extremes of the screen but it keeps snapping back… What do I need to do to get my GW2 client running on the right screen in glorious 1920×1080 without it switching back over to the left screen? I already tried windowed-fullscreen but that did the same.
