How do I setup a Borderless Window for IC3?

IC3 Player can now run on the desktop as a top-most borderless window of arbitrary or full size. You can specify the left, top, width and height. As an example, add this to your MMOS.INI:

DESKTOP_Borderless = 1
DESKTOP_TopMost = 1
DESKTOP_CustomPosition = 100 50 800 600

Omitting DESKTOP_CustomPosition will make the window fill the primary display. Feel free to adjust the size and position of the window to fit your needs and display geometry. (Left, Top, Width, Height respectively)


To create a MMOS.ini file open NotePad, start the file with [Scala], and enter the Desktop commands.

For a 1365x768 full screen example:

[Scala]
DESKTOP_Borderless = 1
DESKTOP_TopMost = 1
DESKTOP_CustomPosition = 0 0 1365 768

Save the file as MMOS.ini. If you are using the borderless window for IC3 Designer system you need to store the MMOS.ini file in the ICDesigner3 folder. The default install path is :\Program Files\Scala\ICDesigner3. If you are using the borderless window for IC3 Player system you need to store the MMOS.ini file in the ICPlayer folder. The default install path is :\Program Files\Scala\ICPlayer.

You must turn off FullScreen playback. In IC3 Designer unselect the FullScreen button. Go into Tools / Options / Playback, and unselect 'Always Play Back in Full Screen?'. In IC3 Player go into Configure InfoChannel Player, select Playback, and unselect 'Always Play Back in Full Screen?'. You do loose double buffered support when using this mode, but if you plan your script right, you can get around this limitation (don't use big flyons as the graphics will tear)
