Windowed/fullscreen toggle?

SDL Development
#1

Okay, the new fullscreen code seems to work great (well, for everything that
I’m working on). I was thinking though (dangerous, I know), would it be
possible to toggle between windowed and fullscreen modes? I’m at work now,
so I can’t try any ideas I have, but just wanted to throw this out to see if
anyone has any ideas on it? Is it possible to use SetVideoMode() and copy
the original (windowed) surface over to the returned (full screen) surface?

Yep. I’ve actually designed it so that if you do:

SDL_SetVideoMode(old_width, old_height, old_depth, !old_flags);

it is essentially a fullscreen toggle. :slight_smile:
