    @StevOz Haha, I love how Tim could take almost any concept and turn it on its head, in this case going with a 'black-light' / neon look. Btw-- great job y'all, refreshing the recommended tables list. I never had much luck getting input in to that, so was kind of afraid to mess with the list too much. So cool to see a completely new list, now! :-)

    Thanks for the link, sadly that tip didn't help but I'll ask there
  28. xenonph @ xenonph:
    You can open Editor, and click Preferences tab, then Video / Graphics, then look for Force Exclusive Fullscreen Mode, and uncheck that. Now your DMD will show with FS.

    @Guest Try posting that question here... https://pinballnirvana.com/forums/forums/vp-vpm-first-aid-station-need-help.87/
  30. G @ Guest:
    Does anyone know how to force a floating DMD (as seen on most of bord's tables) to show up as PART OF the main window, in full screen? The goto answer from most people is "ah you can move it where you want and then switch back to VP", which... I don't know if they've never used a window-based operating system or if they've never played VP in desktop mode, but that isn't how windows work. A fullscreen window displays on top of any other window, including the DMD.

    There were too many clouds in the Seattle area to see it be blood color. By the time I saw it, it was past full eclipse and just "muted grey" color.

    @guest When you Alt-Tab, and click the VPinMAME window, try moving it just a bit to left and right, then click on table, and VPinMAME window should stay on top of the table window.
  48. G @ Guest:
    I've glanced through their scripts but haven't seen anything like a "set this to 0 for desktop mode"
  49. G @ Guest:
    Also uh, does anyone here know what to do about machines that only have a floating DMD? Space Shuttle and Doctor Who both have that and it's very annoying because if I dare alt-tab (which I need to do often, because VPX is finnicky about listening to keyboard controls), the score is gone and I need to restart the machine and hope I don't need to alt-tab again
