Ok, this is as basic as it can get for resizing D3 windows to whatever size you choose to do so. From start to finish it took me less than 10 minutes.

1. Go HERE to download the HotkeyNet program.
2. READ THE FIRST 3 PAGES OF INSTRUCTIONS. This is literally ALL you need to know to do this.
3. Create a text file(I will attach mine) and type in:
Code: 
<Hotkey F1>
    <TargetWin "Diablo III"> 
    <SetWinSize 336 218>
Don't forget to save this in an easily remembered spot. I use my desktop as default.
***Note***
You can change the "Hotkey" to whatever you choose. I just left it at F1 for convenience. ALSO change TargetWin to whatever the name of your D3 window is if somehow you have changed it. And lastly, put in whatever screen resolution you wan to run D3 at in the SetWinSize. I have mine set to 336X218, this is the smallest WoW will run for me, and it makes it very very small.

4. Launch hotkeynet.exe from wherever you downloaded it to(again, I just use my desktop)
5. Load the D3 resize.txt script I have attached(or your own if you chose to do so) from hotkeynet.exe
6. Launch D3 and put it in Windowed Fullscreen.
7. Press whatever Hotkey you have assigned to the D3 resize.txt and profit!!!!

This is a good "cheap/Free" way, However i liked the ISBoxer system because of CPU / FPS systems it has along with auto logins etc. its only 40$ for a year not to bad at all.
 
How many bots can isboxer handle if your computer permitted it?
 
I select "WINDOW" (non-full screen) mode and resize it with my mouse.

What's wrong with that? Is the game still rendering stuff as if it was in the native resolution?

Yes, smaller window = less resource usage = faster load times and the ability to run even more bots. More bots is obvious and faster load times gives you a higher GPH per bot.

Helps when you have multiple accounts, I can only get 4 on one monitor currently and be able to keep an eye on em.

reduce resources? does anyone have PROOF of this?

lol you serious ? Screen resolution has a direct impact on game performance for every game. Even in the background your PC has to render the game and all the graphics.
 
cool thing, but how to make this program read and resize several processes with the same names?
currently running 3 diablo clients and I am able to resize only the first one. I will have to rename the rest to make it work?

This. Also, I would like to hear some thoughts regarding security on this.

Btw this should be a sticky if it is secure and all.

Not bad, but it seems it can't downsize it to be any smaller what I can do via just dragging the edge of the D3 window.....
 
I set this up and performance lags much worse for me on the tiny screen than it does just being in normal windowed mode on the smallest setting.
 
well i had a big perfomance problem too.. so i used some fps program to check it. it seems like the resized windows does consume the same amount of resources like fullscreen window.. so its totaly worthless.. BUT i found a solution :)
try to change ur desktop resolution to eg 640*360 and use hotkeynet to resize.. change back to ur normal desktop solution afterwards and u will see that the resized window will stay at the low desktop reso and therefore consume less resources :)
atm i am writing a script for hotkey to auto chance desktop reso start diablo log in change reso back start demonbuddy and so in in just ONE klick... cant test atm since there is no new version of db
to change the desktop resolution u can use some programm called setres which u can include in ur hotkey script
gl :)

i will post the script later on
