is it possible to enable "emulate virtual desktop"

Bond Masuda · Post by **Bond Masuda** » Sun May 25, 2008 6:31 pm

As i'm discovering that some applications work best with "emulate
virtual desktop" while I prefer to run others without that setting
enabled. Is it possible to enable/disable that feature on a per
application basis?

For example, if I leave it off, is there a command line option i can add
to a shortcut/script that enables it only for a particular application?

Thanks...

A few releases ago (.9.61 IIRC), Alexandre commited a fix to allow
configuring this on a per app basis. There are two ways:
Easy way:
Run winecfg
Add application in Applications tab.
Configure DLL overrides/windows versions/etc.
Tick virtual desktop in graphics tab.

Terminal way:
wine explorer /desktop=name,1024x768 program.exe
