iRacing can be configured to run in Windowed Mode and still be full screen. This will allow Electron to put the widgets on top of the SIM's screen anywhere you want them and they will stay on top.
To do this, in your DocumentsiRacingapp.ini file, set the following variables. Please keep a backup copy of this file before you change it for reference. This example is for 1 monitor.
Note: Only edit this file when iRacing is not running. Otherwise, when it exits, it will overwrite your changes to what they were when it first launched.
If the task bar is in the way, you can get windows to hide it by following these steps. To use it later, just point at where the task bar would be and it will temporarily unuhide it.
Windows combines your monitors
If Windows has combined your monitors into one monitor, the only thing you will change from above is the following.
Windows sees multiple monitors
If Windows sees your monitors as separate monitors, you will want your windowedXPos and windowedYPos to be on the left most monitor of your triples. 0,0 will be the monitor that is set as your main. Assuming your resolution is 1920 x 1080 and your main monitor is the middle monitor, then the windowedXPos will be '-1920'.
I have 4 monitors in the following configuration. All of them are 1920 x 1080. How to layer sounds in fl studio.
'A' is set as my main monitor. That means I have to set my X,Y as.

Windowed Mode Command
Yes, however you have to set the display colour setting to 16-bit each time you want to play
(or by making a batch script). To force window mode (for windows 7): i. right-click you Nox shortcut and choose Properties. ii. in the Shortcut-tab, edit the Target-field by adding ' -swindow' at the end (without quotation marks). op. you can also try ' -window' (without s) to get a larger window. Tested on Windows 7.

senbon: Yes, however you have to set the display colour setting to 16-bit each time you want to play Thanks it works.(or by making a batch script).

Tested on Windows 7. Though it causes more problems for me, like screen tearing, dodgy sound and sometimes the game can crash. -window does not put the game in a window, it just makes the game look worse with screen tearing lol... Nevermind.

Nevermind. I doubt the game was ment to be played outside its exclusive environment, which is what you are experiencing. It does put the game in window mode (as opposed to exclusive fullscreen mode, which is another beast). What it does however is scale the window to it's maximum size. One last thing you could try out is adjusting the compatiblity setting, but I doubt it'll help much, sadly :<.

After doing that -swindow I went back to playing to normally but not the game will not run in full screen mode, only in a little box with black edges.

Strange, are you sure you are running NOX.EXE (and not say Game.EXE)?

I fixed it in the Nvidia CP. I had to change the aspect ratio to full screen, though I wonder why it had changed in the first place.

I would like to stream NOX as well as basically run it in a window. Windowed mode would help with my streaming options since OBS window capture is better than Xsplit software capture if I were to use software capture at all.
Unfortunately OBS doesn't recognize NOX running in Window Capture mode so I am forced to have my mouse held captive in full screen on my middle monitor (3 monitors). I want a windowed mode that doesn't hold my mouse hostage. This doesn't seem to be the solution.

This is possible using the SDL patch. See my other post for more info.

http://www.gog.com/forum/nox/any_way_to_run_nox_in_windowed_mode/page1Nice lack of details there. Yes. I only saw this response now. I had to Google for it and found the forum thread that I found here as well you linked: http://www.noxforum.net/index.php?topic=8677.0 All this does when I run the bat file is 'Nox GUID window comes up and doesn't respond with just white window and DOX box.
