Troubles with running fullscreen/Window size (+Controller question)

    This is probably a silly question, but I'm a bit of a comp gaming newbie, and don't know of any way to fix this.

    First things first, I'm playing on a widescreen HDTV. It's the only thing I have to use as a monitor at the moment since my laptop screen split down the middle. It's a Vizio 32" I think.

    I'm having trouble with both my fullscreen mode, and my standard gaming window mode. When playing in a window, the window is too large, and the bottom of it bleeds into (Falls behind) my taskbar, with no known way to resize, which makes it hard for me to see new chat entries. The text is also extremely small. When I'm playing in fullscreen mode, I get a smaller window in the center of my screen surrounded by black, but the screen is only showing 1/4th of what it is supposed to show, it seems. The rest is cut off. For example, it looks as if the main menu screen is zoomed into the top right corner of its entirety, so I can only see part of the castle on my bottom right, and some early menu choices.

    I played this at my bf's with his computer setup, which worked fine, and I wanted to catch some games with him on my laptop/Television setup. I was hoping there were some possible ways around these issues?

    And on a side note, I hooked up an xbox game pad to try and play KAG and that works surprisingly well, but the triggers don't seem to work unfortunately? It's not a big deal, but it would be nice to have them to assign zoom functions to or something, so I have my shoulder buttons free for easy access to bombs :D

    I'm not sure what's going on with the buttons, but you can change the size of the window with
    Code:
    global v_width = 1024; // Requires v_restart to take effect.
global v_height = 768; // Requires v_restart to take effect.
    in C:\KAG\Base\Scripts\autoconfig.gm

    Just set it to whatever size you need and then test the game - We're going to add this to the game options soon.

    (Edit) Played with the Global settings and fixed the window mode somewhat, things still seem a little small and bottom of text box is still cut off a bit, but I can see a little more.

    Is there anything I can do with the Global Fullscreen text in the Autoconfig to adress the fullscreen issue as well?

    are your monitor's H and V positions properly set?

    Yep, they're set properly

    Edit: Side note, will there be further game pad implementation? Like a cursor that would fly radially around the character with the joystick would be incredibly helpful and much easier than sliding the cursor around steadily trying to get it precisely over a specific block with a joystick. I know this isn't really meant for playing with a controller, but it would be fun to use one
