[Not a bug] 0.46 vs 0.49 Window mode

Since the 0.47, the window mode works differently
In the 0.46 when you entered a resolution like 800x600x24 it was a full 800x600.
Since the 0.47 when you determinate a resolution of 800x600 it displays only a 640x480 graphics...
Here, I put the pictures to show what I am talking about...
0.46
0.47 and following versions (including 0.49)
Is there something to add in the config file since the 0.47 ?

It's not a bug. This was changed due to a request I made (to make windowed ratios the same as fullscreen), but other people seem upset by it. Sorry!

Bear in mind that Windows mode is unsupported in RTC. It's there and it works, but not "officially".
RTC was really designed for a fullscreen experience (as most games are) -- it helps with the immersion factor.

Ok...
Well I will return to RTC 0.46...
It annoys me too much
Hopefully I have kept a version of it...

Out of interest, why do you prefer playing in a Window with a distorted ratio?

I don't have to alt tab...
I can see if someone message me on msn
I can put the music I want
I have access to all programs, like Word... I have a document that summarize all spells I added and all existing in the dungeons I play.
It is more confortable for me.

I think he meant 'why do you want the distorted ratio' not 'why do you want windows mode.
I personally play in windowed mode all the time, but I haven't noticed the difference yet - I don't think I've payed the newer engines.
I like windowed mode playing in whatever size I tell it - as close to fullscreen if I want (while, as ralendil says, having quick access to all the other windows stuff) and sometimes making it tiny so I can play it while doing other stuff (watching something or having up the editor, etc)

Oh, well, if I'm playing a game I don't want to be bothered by anything else...
If it's a real problem, then yes, stick to 0.46 or ask George to change the behaviour back again...
