Wine messing up my screenlets - Overclock.net

mrblaineng · 07-12-09

Hey guys, So I recently got Wine working and I installed Warcraft 3 and tried it out. I was pretty happy to get it working on the first try, but I noticed that the game was in windows mode and a quick Google search got my Warcraft 3 running in windows mode. After I exited Warcraft 3 I noticed that the screenlets were all out of place. Everytime I run Warcraft 3 the screenlets would be all out of place again. I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if there is a fix for this. Thanks!

it sounds like a problem with the screenlet manager. your screen resolution probably changes when you go into the game, causing the screenlet manager to adjust. there *might* be a setting with the screenlet manager to tell it not to adjust everything into "visible" space when the screen resolution changes.

OR, see if you can run Wine with the same resolution as your desktop so it doesn't change your resolution.

those would be my thoughts...

Yea I sort of guessed it was something with the screen resolution. The only problem is that Warcraft 3 doesn't have the 1440x900 resolution my desktop is running. I have tried to look through the screenlet configurations and I found this one thing where it supposedly locks the screenlets, but for some reason I can move them even with the locked configuration. Other people have suggested opening a new X windows, but I have no idea what this is.

You can change the Warcraft 3 resolution with the regedit tool - just write "regedit" in terminal (no sudo).

Then navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III\Video" and find the resheight and reswidth values - change them accordingly to your screen resolution. Don't forget to set them to decimal and NOT hexadecimal when editing them.

Thanks! That did the trick. I was just wondering if that works for all games or if it just works for Warcraft 3.

It's game-side and not WINE-side, so if the game stores its resolution in the registry and not in a config file, then I guess you could do it for those games too.

Boozing + Gaming is a mixed idea!

Oh, not that kind of Wine
