Is it possible to have the nodes in "windowed" mode? As it is now I'm only able to have them in full screen.
I'm running AmiKit-X.

You can have all nodes viewable at the same time, and watch multiple users actions.


Maybe this is what you are looking for:

@node Cap071202 "BBS:NODE<x>/WINDOW.DEF.INFO ICON Info"
=======================================================================
WINDOW.DEF.INFO - This ICON should be placed in the NODE<x>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ directory and specifies the Window Prefs of the
node.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
WINDOW.NUM_COLORS= - Specifies the Number of Colors you want to have
for the Node Window.
WINDOW.INTERLACE= - Specifies that you want to have this window in
HighRes-Interlace Mode.
WINDOW.LEFTEDGE= - Specifies the beginning of the Node Window in the
Left Edge.
WINDOW.TOPEDGE= - Specifies the beginning of the Node Window in the
Top Edge.
WINDOW.WIDTH=<numb> - Specifies the WIDTH of the Node Window.
WINDOW.HEIGHT=<numb> - Specifies the HEIGHT of the Node Window.
WINDOW.STATBAR - This turns on the STATBAR in the Node Window
WINDOW.ICONIFIED - Specifies if you want to have the Node Window
ICONIFIED if you start the ACP.CTRL.
WINDOW.TO_FRONT - Specifies if you want the Node Window
to pop up automatically when starting ACP.

I have played around a bit with these settings but it doesn't work as I want.
What I mean is to have /X nodes windowed and re-sizeable like DirOpus 4. But that seems not to be possible.
Can you share your settings for a node window?

Modify the window.def for each node and played with window topedge to get the second node to start midway down the monitor on its own screen.

Thanks, so it seems that "real" windowed nodes is not possible. My idea was that if you have a high resolution workbench to have the nodes in smaller windows and still was able to use the workbench and also see what's happening on the nodes.

Thanks anyway.
