I'm pretty sure you can change the window style dynamically if you're in the process that owns the window, and you know it's handle. So, theoretically you could do it with: a) Manually with an existing WinSpy type utility. b) Write a little bit of Windows code that runs MMBasic, then fiddles with the window. c) Write a little bit of MMBasic code that fiddles with its own console window??? Those kludges are all a bummer, but it appears MMBasic, at least the one I have, has not implemented any full screen feature. |

G'day, The manual shows full screen modes available in several resolutions under the MODE command, under control of MMbasic. It does mention you cannot set a fullscreen mode as default. Regards, Lyle. |

It was easy  You have to change one line in "olcPixelGameEngine.h" from the source ...  Change the text in line 3946 , compile and it's done  Cheers ... Theory is when we know everything but nothing work ... Practice is when everything work but no one know why ;) |

It depend what is scary for you Install visual studio community 2022. Get the source from Peter Github. DBL click on the "MMBasic.sln" file , it will open Visual studio Now chose "Release" and "X86" and go to Generate menu and click "Generate Solution" After compiling , you get a Release folder with MMBasic.exe in it ... Not that scary , what you think ?  Or tell me what text you want i can do it for you Edited 2025-06-05 02:39 by darthvader Theory is when we know everything but nothing work ...

Sorry, but IMHO this is a bit like removing copyright notices. If OneLoneCoder had wanted you to be able to rename the window I'm sure he/they could have made it configurable, and may even do so if politely asked. After all, it's the only visible form of identification while someone else is running their own code using the software.

at the beginning of your program just set the required mode with a negative value. E.g. MODE -1 |

Ah, darnit. Was sure I scanned the MODE command Thanks Pete |
