[Coco] Windows 7 CoCo emulator blues the colors never appear correctly under Windows 7 in full screen

[Roy J Lores]

Resizing and Maximizing a window to fill the screen and actually using a
full screen are 2 very different things as I've said the modes and colors
work alright in Windowed mode it's in fullscreen mode which can only be done
by pressing [F11] key that things go wrong and if anything can be done about
that and yes I'm using the latest version of VCC. The reasons for preferring
full screen to a window are that if you are playing a game with the
Joystick/gamepad under fullscreen the screensaver won't go active on you
like it would on Windowed mode. 

For what you tell me you never use fullscreen and instead only run it on
Windows mode which works great until the screensaver kicks in.

Roy,


Are you using VCC1.42 ?

How are you entering the Fullscreen ?
are you using an F-key or the re-sizing button on the top window bar ?

Because of vision issues I use the fullscreen in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
and don't have the problems you are describing.  I use the rgb mode in
config and have the allow re-sizing button checked.  When the emulator is
started I just click on the re-sizing button to go to fullscreen and
everything works exactly the same as in the normal window mode of the
emulator.

If you are using an F-key to enter fullscreen, instead check allow re-sizing
in config and then just click on the re-sizing button on the top bar of
emulator window and see what that does for you.
