Got A New Monitor and Need FFXI Windower Info

[Rellinger]

So I got a new monitor for Xmas. Its a 22" LCD HD Widescreen that runs at 1680 x 1050. It makes me jizz in my pants. The problem is, I'm not sure what ratio and resolutions I should be running FFXI in. Using Windower's init file, FFXI's Config, and the ratio setting in game. I also run a NVidia GeForce 8500 GT 512MB card if you have any tips how I can enhance things from there.

I generally don't like it when the game takes up the entire window, however once I get back home from the 'rents place, I'll be using my old 16" LCD as a second monitor for my dual screen, so I'll have FFXI in a full window there and have MSN/Firefox/etc on my second screen. So if someone knows what to do for both a full screen windower and a partial screen windower and can let me know the settings that I would need to achieve that, I would rove you rong time.

it's depending on you prefer a 4:3 or a widescreen 16:9 for the windower. However, I'm still using the resolution of 800x600 for the windower. So that I have enough of space to surf web or watching video on my 22" monitor.

On my 1680x1050 monitor I run XI in a 1600x900 window, leaving room to see AIM/Vent/small section of Firefox, etc. I personally hate it when the XI window is too small because then you lose a lot of field of vision, and in some cases that is important. Now I have a laptop and a second PC on the way in the next month (three computers total), so I'll probably be changing some stuff around. Whatever you do just make sure you regedit the background res to either 1:1 or 2:1 of the foreground res, or else your graphics will look like garbage.

How do I do this? Got a link somewhere?

I think this is what Epical means.
Normal res x2 is how mine is setup.
