Re: I'm beginning to understand users' frustration with video options

I dont think, that this is a MAME problem. It is a Windows OS problem. I have the same issues with at least two other programs, including my frontend.

Stupid thing from Windows is, that it adds the frame of the windows, including borders, icons, titlebar etc.

so if you specify a windows size, you would assume, you get exactly that, but you get a windows size that fits your specified size including the additional framing stuff from Windows OS. Very annoying for example if you do theme-ing, skinning of a program and you expect that the window is really 800x600 for example. In reality you end up with a smaller size, because of the framing of the window itself.

Hope you can follow, but i cant describe it better.

PS: i think the only solution, would be a complete borderless window, so that there are no elements that could skrew the intended size.
