Configuring the Window

The default windowed mode does not capture your mouse (does not lock it inside the window) and has a border; see how to change it.

Step 1: Go to the game installation folder
(usually C:\Diablo II\Diablo II Evolution)
Step 2: Open the file ddraw.ini in Notepad
Step 3: Scroll to the end of the file, after the line ; D2Evo
Step 4: Change the line devmode=true to devmode=false
Done, this will capture the mouse inside the window.

To release the mouse, hold Alt and press Tab

To remove the border, change the line border=true to border=false

Other settings:
If you have misconfigured something, these are the default settings:
Note: true = True (enabled) and false = False (disabled)
Lines starting with ; are comments and are ignored
