Small hidden window behind main window

by Warthog · in iTorque 2D · 01/23/2009 (8:27 am) · 4 replies

I'm not sure what is up with this, and it has always happened with iTGB, but I get a small blank window behind my main window when running on the Mac. Anyone else seen this? And how do I get rid of it?

Yes, I get it too. and I used to get it on TGB 1.7.3 .
I actually had a hack that fixed it on 1.7.3 but that was involving full screen window so I don't think it'l help in this case.
Basically, in the main main.cs before _initializeProject() I had something like that.

Canvas.schedule(10,toggleFullScreen);

function Canvas::toggleFullScreen(%this)
{
toggleFullScreen();
}

NOt sure why it worked. but it did got rid of the black empty window.

I think it has to do with resizing the window to 320x480. I think it actually creates a new window, but it seems to be leaving the old one. I don't think causes any problems though, other than looking odd.

Still I need to get rid of the thing. We are hoping to release our game on the Mac and Windows as well and it doesn't look good to have a strange blank window hanging about.

Also, how am I to know for sure that this extra window isn't there on the iPhone, robbing me of resources ;-)

OK then, I don't have the code in front of me, but you can see what happens when you call setScreenMode() on the Mac, and see where that window is coming up.
