Broker Switcher

This is a simple LibDataBroker plug-in inspired by Fubar_switcherFu. Clicking on the icon will switch the display between full-screen and windowed mode. Right-clicking on the icon will take a screenshot (stored in the WoW Screenshots folder).

Like all LibDataBroker plug-ins, Broker Switcher requires a data display addon like DockingStation or ButtonBin.

I fiddled with this and modified it to show what mode you're in on the right side of the tooltip. Here is the modified Broker_Switcher.lua if you're interested. I also shortened the left-click hint to make the tooltip smaller since it displays which mode you're in now.

Code:

LibStub:GetLibrary("LibDataBroker-1.1"):NewDataObject("Switcher", {
	type = "launcher",
	text = "Switcher",
	OnClick = function(_, msg)
		if msg == "LeftButton" then
			local screenMode = 1 - GetCVar("gxWindow")
			SetCVar("gxWindow", screenMode)
			RestartGx()
		elseif msg == "RightButton" then
			Screenshot()
		end
	end,
	icon = "Interface\\Icons\\Spell_Arcane_TeleportThunderBluff",
	OnTooltipShow = function(tooltip)
		if GetCVar("gxWindow") == "1" then
			tooltip:AddDoubleLine("Switcher", "Windowed")
		else
			tooltip:AddDoubleLine("Switcher", "Full Screen")
		end
		tooltip:AddLine("|cffffff00" .. "Click|r to toggle modes")
		tooltip:AddLine("|cffffff00" .. "Right-click|r to take a screenshot")
		tooltip:Show()
	end,
})

If I understand your question correctly, then you may be able to do what you want by going into Blizzard's Video settings (hit Escape to bring up the Options list, select Video, select Resolution) and enable both "Windowed Mode" and "Maximized". On my Vista system, that makes WoW fill the screen but lets other application windows sit on top (you may need to use the Start key to access Window's task bar and switch between apps).

Yes, this is how I play, but "maximized" while in windowed mode still shows the edges of the window. That's how I know I'm in windowed mode, 'cause I can see the window. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I'm just curious, cause I'd love to know how to make it not look like I'm in windowed mode when I am.
