** These instructions are for the DoW games not installed from the STEAM service. STEAM uses a different file and folder structure than the DoW games you install from boxed retail.

Dawn of War screentoggle; file name and location -
E:\Program Files\THQ\Dawn of War\autoexec.lua
screenmode = 0
function toggle_screenmode()

taskbar_hide()
message_hide()
screenmode = 1
else
taskbar_show()
message_show()
screenmode = 0
end
end
bind("Control+z", "toggle_screenmode()")
Use a game startup icon without -dev command line option.
The screen toggle will only work when you are playing on a map (or a replay of a map). It does not work at any main menu screen.
