    How do you play Diablo 2 in a window? I heard that you can play all Blizzard games in a window by pressing Command - M but it doesn't work. =S Does anyone know why?

    The parameter is "-w" for Diablo II and "-window" apperantly for Warcraft 3.

    I would like to know that as well. I play Warcraft 3 for hours sometimes and it would be nice to keep an eye at Adium.

    ::EDIT:: Just tried again and it works... dunno if I have been hitting CRTL+M or if one should put it in windowed mode before actually loading a mission. Only cavet is that I can't resize the wndow and the functions keys bound to spotlight won't work ingame. Woot, I can even spotlight it, way cool!

    Wooky did say ctrl though, not command. Have you tried that?

    Yeah I have. All that does is mute the game.
