This can be done most easily from a TTY (ctrl-alt-f2, say), but with some kludging can be done from the currently running X session. I ended up launching Starcraft in a second Xsession. This will display Starcraft fullscreen, in the correct aspect ratio, but moved to the far right of your 16:9 monitor, with a doublesize black space to the left, and nothing to the right. The mouse can't go there, and gameplay is not affected but it looks bad. The right side shows junk from your desktop and other windows. *This works pretty well, but when I said there were black bars on both sides, that's not entirely true.
I called this script starcraft.sh (the name can be anything, as long as it is consistent with the below script) New Item with name Starcraft (or whatever) and for the command, browse to and select the script from before and use an image of your choice for the icon. Check it to prevent Starcraft from using 100% of a core when it doesn't need to.Ĭreate a menu entry for it with Main Menu, preferences, Main Menu Editor. Also in game, the Speed Settings menu has an Enable CPU throttle setting.

Things run full speed, up to x16 playback in replays. If anyone has a better way to do this I'd love to hear it Game is run, then when it exits, xrandr resets us to our old resolution, and the black background window is closed using the stored PID. 2 was.3 to be safe) xrandr then gives us our Starcraft resolution. After a brief pause (.1 wasn't long enough. The PID of the python process that created it is saved for later. You can edit window.resize(width,height) to whatever you want, having it be at least 884x510.

It only needs to be large enough to cover the 854×480 of your fullscreen 480p resolution, but I make it large enough to cover my 2560x1440 monitor to hide some of the xrandr transitions. So the script above uses python to create a fullscreen black window (the lines between the EOFs are python, see ). The right side unfortunately shows stuff from your desktop (wallpaper, open windows) rather than blacking things out like the left side does. Xrandr -output $vga -auto -panning 0x0 -scale 1x1Įxplanation: xrandr -output $vga -mode 640x480 -panning 640x480 -transform 1.33333333,0,-107,0,1,0,0,0,1 places your fullscreen 640x480 window in the center of your monitor, pillarboxed.
