Is there a program that will make a WitP window (set to same resolution as your screen) fill up the ENTIRE screen? This means no toolbar at the top, and also that the task bar is covered on the bottom.

I know these programs exist, but I don't know how to search for one. Alt+Tabbing is much easier on a windowed program vs. full screen.

not sure I really understand what you want to do, but have you tried -w and the resolution you want to have? That�s the only thing I can think of.

No, what I mean is when I set -w and the resolution to 1920x1200 (my screen's reso), the game still has the "War in the Pacific" toolbar thing on the top of the window which I can't get rid of, and it also has the start menu obscuring the bottom part of the game window, as well.

There are programs out there made specifically for windowed games in this situation that cause the game window to be positioned exactly so the top toolbar is off the top of the screen, and the game is on top of the start menu so that you can see the full 1920x1200 resolution game window.

Right now, I'm forced to play at 1680x1050, because otherwise I can't see the full screen while windowed.
