WoW no longer running in the foreground

Something changed; When I launch my WoW clients from ISBoxer (1 on each PC, running Full Screen) they don't run in the foreground. Other windows that are open at the time of launch appear in front of the game window. The Task Bar also shows up in front. When I click on the WoW window, any of the open windows disappear behind the game window. The Task Bar remains.

Where is this setting? I assume this the new default behavior for users running their wow sessions all on one PC.

I see Lock Foreground in the innerspace config is checked.
I don't use window layouts.

Having the task bar appear in front is not desirable.

Re: WoW no longer running in the foreground

turned off Developer edition, went to 1.10 Build 5162 and that issue went away.

I think the reason I toggled on the developer edition was to address an issue where innerspace with stop reponding with other PC's launched. Had to go to the task manager, shut down innerspace, and relaunch several times to get the entire team to load and communicate.

Re: WoW no longer running in the foreground

It's running in the foreground. (The "Lock foreground" option is not needed for WoW, that is for games that ignore input when in the background. This option is overridden by ISBoxer.)

It sounds more like it's not running in full screen mode. ISBoxer with the dev build can force it into a window, but that should only happen if your Character Set has more than one slot on the current PC. I see that there is a minor bug with it that it will do it even if it's the only window on the PC. I just fixed this bug now, you can try this ISBoxer build with the dev build of IS. Download and install: http://www.lavishsoft.com/downloads/mods/Lavish.ISBoxerSuite.36.exe. It should no longer force the game into a window if it's the only one on that PC.

That did it working perfectly again.

Thanks Lax.
