nested GDI server

Post by user222 »

Do you think running a nested GDI server similar to Xnest is good idea? I think it would be a good way to force full-screen games to run in a window. However, full-screen games usually needs direct-screen rendering, so it would need to emulate a display adapter. Xnest doesn't emulate a display adapter either.

Sometimes it's quite annoying for an application to change the resolution or color depth automatically. It would be a good idea if ReactOS would have an option to prevent certain applications from changing the resolution or color depth.
