Probably a 1.3.1 or 1.3.2 fix. I personally think this is a defect resulting of some D3D workarounds for other issues. Full D3D device handling rewrite is scheduled for 1.4.0 as this is a major rework and out of scope for a maintenance release. This will come with more general enhancements like the option of using of pixel shaders. 2. Working on this whyile we speak. Window can only be resized with keeping the aspect ratio as anything else makes no sense. This might cause problems for some skins or even plugins. I am currently testing this. It will be a config option to only allow resizing with keeping the aspect ratio that is checked by default. Unlikely anyone will need to turn this off in windowed mode, but you never know. So we keep backwards compatibility via an option for a few releases. 3. Depends if the black bars are part of the movie you are playing or not. Will happen as a 1.3.1, probably a side effect of fixing 1. In widowed mode the window will automatically resize to the size of the media played back (unless it cannot fit on the screen). You know this from VLC and other media players. If black bars are part of the movie there is not much we can do. Windowed mode is currently not really good supported from a D3D perspective as most people run in full screen anyway (better performance). In addition a new config switch will be introduced 1.3.1 creating a border less window, so you can run 1080p on 1080p monitor in windowed mode. Another side effect of fixing 1 for people who want to run windowed mode so they can have apps above it or working on a secondary screen. Multi display setups on Win still can only have one active full screen app and you cannot interact with other displays at the same time. You know this from games. So for 1080p a borderless window mode needs to added to solve this. Area 51 testing of the current work starts in the next few days - any testers are welcome. The faster we can identify new or left issues, the faster it can go into master.</blockquote>
