[Bug] Mediaportal windowed starting issue (1 Viewer)

[doskabouter]

Just installed the 1.3.0 RC, and I couldn't find the option to start Mediaportal in windowed mode.

Then I tried passing /windowed as command line parameter, and when I start Mediaportal /windowed, it starts fullscreen (and more: on my adjacent monitor a couple of pixels of the image are visible, attached screenshot has 1288 pix of background, while my monitor is 1280), but after initializing plugins etc it resizes to become a windowed program.
After that, it takes a couple of seconds for the fullscreen background to disappear, and all looks normal again.

This is both with titan and defaultwide

Is this desired/designed behavior, and what are the thoughts on that?

Doesn't sound like intended behaviour doskabouter. Might very well be related to a LOT of skin engine changes that were done in the RC release.

Just tried to reproduce this, and i see simular behaviour as you do with the 'mediaportal /fullscreen=no' command-line.

Maybe @Scythe42 can comment on this, since he's been working for a long time on the half/fullscreen issues and did the skin engine changes in RC.

That still seems to be showing in the background.

@doskabouter
Looked into this issue with @Sebastiii and he confirmed the issue also. He already has a fix for this, and i've added the bug to Mantis:

From branch, looks like entire file has changed. Not easy to see what the actual changes are.

Yep, VS change end on line and from github it's hard to see the diff
But from local repo, it's easy

Look simple enough. Tested by Seb and HomeY, so do you feel this is ready to merge?

I just force push the branch :
https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/commit/99b1e0da9ec627acee4cccc3a6c79e4fe7dae330

It's better from GITHUB.

@tourettes how to do to avoid such ? (i have change setting in tortoiseGit and i think also on VS to not uniform end of line and keep that way but seems not work).
