opening in fullscreen would ne niceI was waiting for that being the next feature request… ;-) The graphics app does have a --fullscreen option, but as well as making the window full-screen it causes it to act like a screensaver (such that it will exit as soon as you move the mouse or press a key), which will not be very useful when you are trying to use the machine at the same time. The closest we can (easily) get is to open the window maximised, by changing PUSHD "%SLOTDIR%" && START "Rosetta Graphics" "%GFXRELPATH%" & POPDto PUSHD "%SLOTDIR%" && START "Rosetta Graphics" /MAX "%GFXRELPATH%" & POPD If you want true full-screen, you’ll need a utility that can modify another application’s window and remove its borders. AutoHotkey is probably able to do that, but I’m not sufficiently familiar with it to write a script. |

Okay... I'm already sorry for that.. But what if... Just theoretical... What if i want this window to be always on top? Is there a line which i could add? :-) |

I don’t know of any built-in tool in Windows that can do that. Again, AutoHotkey or a similar utility would be needed. |

I don’t know of any built-in tool in Windows that can do that. Again, AutoHotkey or a similar utility would be needed. found a small workaround. i made a 2nd bat-file to startup the first one minimized and put this to restart on Crash. so in case the graphics-app crashes or doesn´t work properly, the "RoC" detects that, closes the app and starts my 2nd bat that tells to start your bat minimized. i´m feeling somehow clever now. hahahaha but there is in fact an issue with our first bat. then a job is finished, it can´t start always a new graphics. there is a good chance, that i get an error message "the given registrykey or value was not found" ( hopefully it was translated correctly. after 30 secounds my RoC detects, that graphics is not running and starting a new bat to retry. but it doesnt help. i modified your first idea with "Rosetta Graphics" /MAX , because there is no regestry-entry in the first bat. so its working, just want to give a feedback. And i´m using my new account (germansienceguy) for your bat-file. with same name, i´m streaming my work on twitch. some promotion for boinc and this project. so there you can watch your bat in action. ;-) |

Strange that it would work some of the time but not at other times. Not sure what’s going wrong there. Anyway, it’s fine just to have SET BOINCDATADIR="D:\BOINC DATA"instead of trying to read the value from the Registry. |
