Bigbox Windowed Mode

[Former user]

I play my games on my desktop PC and multitask a lot. I was wondering if it was possible to implement a windowed mode for bigbox?

[Brad Cheyne]

Possible, but is something wrong with LaunchBox that you'd rather use BigBox?

I am all for this too.

The larger background images, the way that it lists favorites first, the added features, let's face it, if BigBox is more desirable, that's why we pay to get it.

I just can't stand full screen modes on anything really. I hate having to alt tab out, having lag when it swaps, not being able to get to desktop icons if I want to look something up, etc...

I would just much rather have a fullscreen windowed mode where I can minimize and work around it easier.

LaunchBox to me is more desirable, so that is completely subjective. BigBox is designed mostly for couch gaming with a controller, it's just an added bonus. Not that making a Windowed option for it is out of the cards, but why does it matter? If you're using a mouse and keyboard then just use LB and use a controller when the Emulator launches.

Issue #1043 was marked as a duplicate of this issue.

There are not many themes that look good in 4k portrait mode. Being able to position window at 1080p would allow landscape mode and plenty more viewing options.
