    I was wondering if there was a way to force windowed fullscreen mode on some games that don't support it. Mainly because i want to mouse over the taskbar icon in Windows 7 and see the status of lobbies and such while i alt tab and browse waiting for them to fill up. Starcraft 2 does this really well without windowed fullscreen as it tabs you back in as soon as the game starts. If i mouse over the icon in a fullscreen game, the preview window just comes out black.

    Any ideas?
