Re: support for netbooks
Easiest way should be to edit the shortcut.
Open the shortcut preferences menu with a right-click on the shortcut.
You will see a line like "C:\....\wesnoth.exe" just add --smallgui at the end of that line.
Close the menu and left-click onto the shortcut to run the game.
Edit: Oh well, maybe I should just let people explain it, who know better.

Re: support for netbooks
There are other command line switches that may be useful to you as well. For instance, on my Aspire One netbook I use something like this:
Code: Select all
wesnoth -r 1024x600 -f --smallgui

Re: support for netbooks
First method worked (gracias signor Muerte) even though it was still windowed.
Second method worked like a charm (thank you fellow netbook user). I just altered resolution to 1024x576. Could you please elaborate what does ''-f'' stand for? (''-r'' is resolution I presume)

As you can now enjoy all the Wesnoth fun, I'll add "Welcome to the forums!"

I'd assume that f is fullscreen.jura_crvenobradi wrote:First method worked (gracias signor Muerte) even though it was still windowed.

Re: support for netbooks
Yep. I'm not sure how it works in Windows, but in Linux you can just type "wesnoth -h" or "wesnoth --help" to get the full list of options. Here is an older version from before "--smallgui" was added. Or, if you can ignore the markup you can see the latest man page in the Wesnoth SVN here.Aethaeryn wrote:I'd assume that f is fullscreen.jura_crvenobradi wrote:First method worked (gracias signor Muerte) even though it was still windowed.

I don't remember if I've actually tried it, but the resolution may be detected automatically if you use "-f" or "--fullscreen" without explicitly specifying it with "-r" or "--resolution". At least, I believe the developers are hoping that is the case.

Re: support for netbooks
It wasn't much of a problem but i prefer fullscreen.Oh, was that a problem? Hope not.

Now I'm mobile while playing Wesnoth. Yeah!
I don't think it auto detects res. Otherwise it would set 1024x576 res when you change preferences to fullscreen in preferences file. I think.Yep.

It matters not. Wesnoth works great. Thank you guys.
Re: support for netbooks
You can modify the menu option in gnome-based linux distributions using alacarte, for example, in ubuntu and ubuntu netbook remix. The command-line options should be added immediately after the command itself, e.g. becomes
using Ubuntu Netbook remix 9.10
