Overview

Suicide Junkie's WindowedSE4 program is a handy little program to accompany Space Empires IV. It is designed to force SE4, which normally insists on having the entire screen to itself, to run in a window on your desktop. It has a number of neat features:

  • Works in any screen resolution.
  • SE4 window can be dragged around by its Name/Date/Resources bar
  • Alternatively, press the arrow keys while holding ScrollLock to move SE4 around, even off edge of the screen.
  • Windows WITHIN se4 can be dragged about as well, including the combat replay dialogue!
  • A 'Boss key.' hit Alt&F12 together to instantly hide se4, leaving only 3 pixels peeking out from the left hand side of your screen.
  • Hold shift when you click in the design screen, and it will automatically add or remove 10 of whatever is under the mouse.
  • Hold Control while clicking to add/remove 50 at a time.
  • Automatically hides the turn-processing screen and brings it back up when complete.


Usage:

  • Simply double click the WindowedSE4.exe at any time, either before or after starting se4. A little Green and white 'H' symbol will appear in your system tray, and will go to work on any instance of SE4 that it finds.
  • be careful to only run it once. If you have two copies running, they may fight over the window positioning.
  • WindowedSE4.exe is compatible with your favourite mod launcher.
  • Right-click the system tray icon to quit the program, temporarily disable it or suspend the hotkeys.
