Hey there, sorry new to this stuff, but when I try a window layout from the wizard menu I start it up it loads up the first game then crashes when starting up the second account but when I do it without any layouts it works just fine, any idea on how to use the layout for a fast swap. Been trying to fix this all day.

We are working on a better fix, but the workaround is to run the games in Windowed Fullscreen.
From Discord PINs
There are some posts for Classic on this too viewtopic.php?p=48572#p48572, but it appears Blizzard waited a couple of weeks and have now rolled out the same level of mistrust of their own settings files into BFA.
From Discord PINs
A known issue occurs when using WIndowed mode. You need the games to be in Windowed Fullscreen mode. You also need the game to not specify a Windowed resolution. There are settings in the CONFIG-CHARNAME.WTF files that need to be checked.
SET gxMaximize "1"
The other is SET gxWindowResolution this one needs to be REMOVED from the files. If you have the Latest Update to the ISBoxer toolkit, it will ask you if it can FIX this one when you export your profile. The correct answer is YES. The gxMaximize you may need to check yourself if it is not already there, or not set to 1.

How do you change these settings?
EDIT
So I dont have either of these setting in my wtf files for my characters... Be nice to get some help with this, especially since the other guy been dealing with this like 4 hours longer than I have.
Edit: Fix for me was
Navigate in Finder/File Explorer to world of warcraft installation, open WTF folder, OPEN Config-"characterName", Use search to ensure "SET gxMaximize "1"" is not present, if it is not present, paste it at the end of the file save and close. You need to do this for every character.

Same problem and the work around mentioned above does not work for me.
I stopped playing classic because using a left handed mouse throws it out of whack.
Now I cannot even launch retail.
I'm relatively new to ISBoxer and I find this very frustrating.
