WinEQ2 alternative
Hey all, I just tested the following (completely free) application.
It works flawlessly and is quite popular on Steam. Can run the game in windowed mode without the title (aka Windowed Fullscreen) http://westechsolutions.net/sites/Wi...essGaming/home Enjoy Edit: I'd highly recommend they be linked instead of WinEQ2 unless P1999 has some agreement with them that is... | ||

I can't find any info about how to launch EQ directly in order to try this. Neither Everquest.exe or the Launch Titanium.bat launch the game properly.

Basically you just need to have the app running, fire up EQ in windowed mode (alt+enter to switch to windowed mode) and then click the "add window" button from the apps tray icon and switch back to EQ and then hit f3. Pretty simple, and works great. Very easy to manage and works with a lot of games. Hope this helps. | |||

It works great except for one thing, my mouse cursor is an inch high from where the game thinks it is. Do you know how to fix that?

Don't think this can be fixed. I play in normal windowed mode not using any 3rd party tools to mess with that. I have no borders left, right and at the bottom and only a small bar at the top. I play in 1920x1080 so try these values in your eqclient.ini:
In the [VideoMode] section: Width=1680 Height=1050 WidthWindowed=1679 HeightWindowed=1050 WindowedWidth=1920 WindowedHeight=1080 FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32 FullscreenRefreshRate=0 and in the [Defaults] section: WindowedModeXOffset=-3 WindowedModeYOffset=-13 WindowedMode=TRUE Works perfectly for me. Important bit is the Offset part. These settings are for standard Windows 10 window frames. You may need to add 1 or 2 at the offsets if you run a different operating system depending on your windows and fonts setup. | ||

1) In the eqclient.ini, make sure your [video mode] settings are set to your screen resolution. 2) Adjust window's title bar height.* right click desktop > personalize > window color and appearance select Active Title Bar from the drop down list. select Fonts > Small Fonts > size 2 decrease Active Title Bar to size 5 3) Start up EQ and get on your character. run the borderless gaming program or a similar program. after the window is set, you should be able to return Active Title Bar to the normal height. *EQ needs 5 pixel title bar height to get the right mouse coords it seems.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] You can save your theme before and after step 2 on the Personalization page and swap between quickly. You can also make a shortcut to the saved themes for fast swapping when starting up EQ. Hope this helps! | |||

If anyone is up to the challenge, I'm sure all that can be automated. Personally I use an AHK script to apply a borderless window style to EQ, then set the window width and height to my screen's resolution. This also gets rid of the "text crunch" from being in windowed mode. Win win! | ||
