4:3 Fullscreen Windowed

[raytheman]

I was wondering if that's possible to do cause when I change it to window 4:3, I get a small box and I see everything on my desktop.

I want it where it's full screen windowed and it's 4:3 1024X768

CSGO is the game.

I have an option that's fullscreen windowed but it's 1920X1020 or something like that

No offence bro, but when i do your thing @FooBar i dont get a fullscreen but a little small window with my game in, so actually.. yeah it doesnt work at all.

Exactly!
The only thing you have to do now, is set the resolution of the monitor on which you want to play to 1024x768. The small window is now displayed as 'fullscreen'.

So this basically only works, if you either, are fine with having 1024x768 all the time on your second monitor, or if you are willing to change it every time you want to play CS GO.

Guys what the hell? He's asking how to do it, and instead of trying to help, you guys tell him why he should do that. You're so useless. He has reasons, ok? He wants to do it. Nobody can stop him from doing it unless it's something worse.

Been wondering, is this possible yet?

What about getting a second monitor? I play games on one and use my other for anything else I might need it for.

I do this. Unfortunately CSGO still requires me to alt tab to get out to go to me second monitor.

Hey, I am wanting Windowed Fullscreen 4:3 (so I have black bars either side)

Sorry to bring this old thread up LOL, but by chance did you figure out how to make it windowed fullscreen when your using a lower resolution?

[HowiiE]

I have figured this out and made a video with steps on how to do it.

We'll see about that! :D:

It is indeed very much possible. Set your resolution in game, quit the game and do the following:

• Open your Steam Library
  
• Right click Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
  
• Click Properties
  
• Click SET LAUNCH OPTIONS
  
• Enter '-windowed -noborder'
  (without the single quotes)

Please let me know if this solves your problem or not. By doing this, switching between your desktop and game is just as fast as application switching.

This didnt stretch the window to make it fullscreen tho can yuo help with that ?

People really need to read this post properly.

He want's to play the game in 4:3 1024X768
But his monitor is 1920x1080
If he puts it on fullscreen borderless it will automatically change to his screen resolution which is 1920x1080 - Is there any way for him to get it fullscreen windowed without changing monitor resolution to the game resolution so he can quickly tab out without 2sec lagg.

Why should you even want to go on Desktop ... If you want to google or facebook just use the STEAM explorer ... (i hope you are not such a guy that dies in Competitive, goes to desktop and is then for 20seconds afk on next round)

Well for some people that can afford or get more than one monitor it is handy knowing that you can easily take your mouse cursor off the game without alt tabbing and easily browse the web or whatever you want to do while still have the game on your other monitor.

thats the problem ! if u have a 2nd monitor and click on something outside the game, the game just will minimise so the 2nd monitor becomes useless !
