Hey Jon.
Thought I might as well pitch this idea again, but can you please at least look into something that makes wallpapers stop changing when there is a game running windowed?
I have seen that you have an exception list for the titlebar buttons, something like this would be PERFECT for this. not only will it let a user fix any problems with fullscreen games not being detected properly, but also allow for users to define games that will be played in windowed mode, something I have not seen your code understand or recognize at all. No offense of course, its got to be hard.
But adding another exception list to the wallpaper settings menu would be so perfect... Its what I suggested last time, but I think something was lost in translation.

It was my poor speech, I tend to be really bad at getting across ideas that are even remotely complicated. But I am looking forward to it!

Something for later!
As a GUI addon, how about a target drop? What this is is something that you can drag out of the settings menu, let go of on another window, and DF would ID the window and add it to its respective list. I have seen this done with Process explorer. A simple google will help you find the program, which is AMAZING btw. I think that would be a great addition to the compatibility exception lists!

Love the new menu. Still could do with the drag and drop on running, take for instance you don't know what the program calls its windows? You drag a little reticule onto it and boom, DF knows what you are thinking.
I would say add this in to the current list of running apps, and when you use it it just goes and selects it, still needing you to press ok. Still Wonderful job.

Meh, maybe one day there will be a better use for it. Also Jon, head over to the closed beta forums I am about to post some more in depth issues, and I find them unfitting for the general discussion area.
Excellent, thanks pyrobob.
