    running StarCraft

    I got StarCraft installed using WINE, even the 1.15 patch, but it gives me an error when I try to launch it due to the different video mode. Seeing as I'm on a widescreen monitor anyway, I'd prefer to have it launch either windowed or full-screened with black bars on the sides. Any way to do that easily?

    Perhaps set up wine to run in a virtual desktop 1024x768 size.

    How do I do that? I'm just short of the biggest Linux noob there is.

    Ah, I am sorry for delayed response I was busy with some bugs. It is a setting in Wine configuration somewhere. Like a checkbox, and a field to input the size. I do not remember exactly where.
