Alt - tab?

ALT+Enter switches between full screen and windowed mode, and when in windowed mode you can alt+tab ok. The problem is it takes quite a long time to switch when you have a mission in progress.

 

Another workaround that works on Windows in full screen mode is:

CTRL+ALT+DELETE > Task manager > Applications tab > right-click "TheDarkMod" and choose minimize.

 

That works instantly, although it's a few extra clicks. Then when done with the forum, you click on the game on your taskbar, and it'll re-open in full screen.

Thanks everyone. I will use Steve's method (CTRL+ALT+DELETE) since it is the fastest

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
