Hey ppl, one thing im finding annoying about OpenArena is the lack of a minimizer. so when playing you cant minimze to view messages ppl send on msn or xfire. anybody know of a minimizer that works? Thanx for your help.

ALT+ENTER makes OA windowed on the spot. From there you can either CTRL+TAB to your desired appz, or press the Windows key between CTRL and ALT, which will lose the focus on OA, allowing you to see other stuff.

Sorry but this is not working for me... and I tried every possible shortcut i know I think oa just kiddnap the focus and no sc works... The only way to leave the focus its if another window steal the focus... for example if some1 in amsn open a connection with you or sumthing like that... but thats all...  I really need this!! |

But when its minimised you need to bring down the console then the mouse should move out the window? If not then try /in_mouse 0 then /in_restart Ive seen people post minimisers before and thought they put the game window out of view. There are a few open source ones I'm sure. The q3 ones will probably work with oa Since there are 3 exe's with 081 then i guess this could make things confusing if something like this happens with a particular file. I'm pretty sure the legacy one downloads maps to my home folder yet another downloads to the games baseoa folder |

I had a problem with it setting gamma back to 1 (I use 1.5) in windowed if I hit alt tab and I would have to reset it every time, so I switched to windowed mode

oh.. i found something new yesterday I didnt know about I'm not sure if this will work for everyone but for windows users you can try pressing the right hand side windows button (if you have one) then the oa window minimises to your tray leaving the entire screen clear. |

I dont like windows key on windows OS. In the heat of battle when you feel like pressing all keys altogether (;p) this can lead to unfortunate results- as of dieing. There are registry tweaks that can disable Start menu pop up on key press, but not everybody will go for them. Going to LANs you probably wont be able to do this tweak, so only chance is to have keyboard which disables that key (on hardware level)- like Logitech G11.

I've found that different video card drivers can change the behavior of alt+enter and alt+tab.
