Enable virtual dexktop and resolution from cmd line?

[beardedlinuxgeek]

I have a program called game.exe

When I do

Code: Select all

wine game.exe

it works fine. But it only runs in full screen and locks the mouse so you can't alt tab out.

If I use winecfg to enable the virtual desktop and set a resolution smaller than my desktop resolution, then when I run the game it works fine. It is at the right resolution, in a window, I can alt-tab out, ect. No problems.

However, this means I have to fiddle with winecfg everytime I want to play this game. Surely there are launch options that allow me to enable the virtual desktop at my prefered resolution.

I tried

Code: Select all

wine explorer /desktop=1600x900 game.exe

and I just got a fullscreen black window.

My question is essentially, How do I change winecfg settings from the command line?

System specs:

Code: Select all
