    Angband on Windows 7 Fullscreen?

    tldr: how do I make Angband full screen in windows 7? Thanks!

    I have been playing Angband on OS X and it plays very nicely except that I don't have a NUMPAD on my laptop so I can't hold down the control key while attacking monsters at an angle (which is problematic for me). Holding down control and pressing 7 or 9 or 3 or 1 causes the help menu to come up

    I have a Windows 7 Desktop computer with a large screen that I'd prefer to play Angband on since I won't have this problem (I assume) using the NUMPAD. But I am having a helluva time getting Angband to display in any kind of useful way. The dungeon is tiny, taking up 1/4 of the screen. When I mess with tile multiplier it adds huge spaces between the tiles instead of just making them all bigger and making it look nice like it does on the Mac. I also can't figure out how to make Angband fullscreen like I have it on the Mac. I prefer the full screen experience even though it means I don't get all the infos from all the sub windows. I have a feeling going full screen will solve the problem, so if anyone can tell me how to go full screen, that'd be huge.

    For the issue with the laptop keyboard, consider the option "roguelike keyset". It changes all keybindings to a laptop-friendly version that looks a bit like navigation in Vim.

      Well, my laptop is on the fritz and won't boot (I think the HD is damaged). I'm hoping to get this running right on the desktop. Pretty unplayable having the game take up only 1/4 of my screen.

        Have you tried going into the subwindow menu off the <=> command?
        You can set various terms to fill up the screen.

        And have you tried increasing font size?

        Come to think of it, are you using tiles or ASCII?

          I guess I should have mentioned I'm using ASCII. Looking at the = menu now. Thanks!

          EDIT: I didn't see anything in there that adjusts full screen or map size. I adjusted the fonts but it doesn't help.
