Help, does anyone know how to handle "overscan" mode such that you can still effectivly use intuition windows on the screen. I have gotten the screen to overscan by changing screen.ViewPort.DxOfset and DyOffset and then doing a RethinkDisplay(). This seems to work fine unless I want the user to be able to use the mouse. When you open up a window on a screen like this the top of the window will start at the top of the screen, but the left side of the window starts at the normal palce. Also intuition thinks that everything is where it would be if I hadn't messed with the screen. This means that I have to click BELOW where I normally would. The Amiga documentation for "overscan" is not very good and I was wondering if any of you had a clue on how to do it. Thanks, -BOB- 🙂
