Could you make it so that the windows ALWAYS stays on top? Over other windows? That way if you use the same pc you always have visual of your small window.

??? Would be amazing.


EDIT:
found a way! using Window On Top portable version :)

reduce resources? does anyone have PROOF of this?

It probably would reduce GPU resource SLIGHTLY, due to less rendered pixels, but, probably so low it's not worth it purely for resources. Mainly just for more bots on a screen.
 
well the cpu usage wet down from 11% to 6% per d3 with the "desktop" resize method
 
Well my cpu is fluctuating GREATLY meaning it can be 20% and 80% other time.. so it's not easy for me to tell..

Memory usage stayed the same.

Also my minimal deskto is 800x600 windows 7... any ways to make it 640x480?
 
My Windows config for hotkeys if anyone wants as it has multi setups using Alt and functions keys.

Yeah mine goes down around about 15% to 10% on CPU using my script and hotkeys.

You can make Windows less than 800x600 as posted using any macro scripts as below. (Hotkeysnet) and as stated in numerous posts you have to set you game to FULLSCREEN WINDOWED MODE and not just plain Windowed mode to get below 800x600

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

Sounds very good!
 
I used the CPU-Z monitor the GPU loading is 80%+ with dual window and nearly 100% cpu loading with each core., when i change back to windowed mode with smallest size it went back to
GPU 30% loading and 25-50% cpu loadnig with each core. So I assume it's still rendering the same amount but just reduce the window size only.
hm.. seems like i haven't resize my desktop to 640*360 first

Mmmm... I am down, my CPU usage is just too high, need the gfx to pick up more of the load!
 
If you have isboxer, you can actually run the game in opengl, which is faster then directx.
 
This works great. Anyway to make it where they go side by side in the top left screen?

I've mostly used your script and changed a lot of the resolutions and sizes to fit my multiscreen display however I noticed that the RenameFromPath doesn't work for Demonbuddy and you've also defined Hotkeys Ctrl F1 and F2 to rename your Demonbuddy Windows, are you manually pressing those for the renames?
 
With Hotkey scripts CPU usage is going down? need to know this..

dude, which script are you using? I can resize all my windows but they be sitting on top of one another >_<

I edited gosikbig's script. (just change window's position)

My screen resolution is 1280 x 1024.Make sure you use each hotkey for each windows.
(I guess you use only one hotkey for all windows,right?)
Code: 
<Hotkey F1>
    <TargetWin "Diablo III"> 
    <SetWinPos 250 150>
	<SetWinSize 300 250>
<Hotkey F2>
    <TargetWin "Diablo III"> 
    <SetWinPos 550 150>
	<SetWinSize 300 250>
<Hotkey F3>
    <TargetWin "Diablo III"> 
    <SetWinPos 850 150>
	<SetWinSize 300 250>	
<Hotkey F10>
    <TargetWin "Diablo III"> 
    <SetWinPos 0 0>
	<SetWinSize 1024 768>

Please explain what hotkeys you use and how do you use it to log on american + eu? You have to change it manually right?
 
Works wonderfully, but doesnt do much cpu-load wise. At least for me running 4 x D3 i don't even notice a drop of 5%. Nothing changed, as I assumed.
