Good for a 1024x768 CRT screen resolution, running DF in window mode:

[GRID:85:60]
[GRAPHICS:YES]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:1020]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:720]
[GRAPHICS_FONT:TU.bmp]
[GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:YES]

The font is from: http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Image:Tileset_unknown_960x300_02.png

Nice and clean -- I suppose any clean font would do, this one just happens to look best to me.

Please tell me if I am being stupid here. What kind of numbers do you need to put in for the grid and windowed size to just get the original sized tileset and see more of it?

Oh and im running on (1280X1024,) if that matters at all.

let me try:

max_tile_width size possible = floor(screen_pixel_width/tile_pixel_width)
max_tile_height size possible = floor(screen_pixel_height/tile_pixel_height)

after you choose a size you want, say tile_width and tile_height which must be less than max sizes computed above.

window_pixel_width = tile_width x tile_pixel_width
window_pixel_height = tile_height x tile_pixel_height

then in your init.txt]

change to the following (replace the symbols from values you computed above)

[GRID:tile_width:tile_height]
...
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:window_pixel_width]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:window_pixel_height ]
...

A couple things that I'd really like:
- Ability to say 'Here's my tilesize.  Here's how many tiles I want.  Figure out the screen size yourself.'
- Ability to say "Stop stretching my tiles when I go from windowed to fullscreen".  Whether that means changing the number of tiles, or whether it means showing black borders on the sides, I dunno...but stretching the tiles makes it look like I'm playing on a 90s-era laptop display :(

...Still, this is the release that drew me back into playing again!  Significant fun-barrier lowered.

I don't know what I should put my grid size. I have a 19" 1440x900 monitor.

Get the dimensions of the tileset you use. This is important.

Divide the width of your screen resolution by the width of one character tile (eg: 16 on a 16x16 set).
Round down if needed, this is the number of tiles that will fit in that direction.
Repeat for height.

For example, on my 1280x1024 monitor and my 16x16 character set, I can fit 80x64 tiles on fullscreen. This is quite a large playing field.
To fit a 16x16 set on a full 200x200 grid I would need a resolution of 3200x3200...

- Ability to say "Stop stretching my tiles when I go from windowed to fullscreen".  Whether that means changing the number of tiles, or whether it means showing black borders on the sides, I dunno...but stretching the tiles makes it look like I'm playing on a 90s-era laptop display :(

In init:
[BLACK_SPACE:YES]
