Changing resolution?

I did not find anything in the option menu for changing the game's res or running in Windowed mode. Is it possible? I uses a 24" 1920x1200 screen and at native res the fonts are a bit small for these old eyes. Is it possible to run at 1680x1050 or something lower? TIA

Game actually runs in a window with no borders or controls. It uses the res setting of your screen. To use a lower res you have to change your screen setting.

Thanks. I should have done a search before posting. It would be really nice to be able to run this in a window as I multitask a lot.

Alt-tabbing works fine. Multi away. [8D]

So do I, working on the Planets overhaul or the Ship mods I'm doing while playing the game or rather let the game play for me and intervene now and then. [;)]
Alt-tabbing works like a charm.

Yup not problems with alt-tabbing so far. The only problem I have is the music cuts out for some wierd reason. Other than that no problems at all. If anything running with a window boarder would make everything a bit smaller and then you would really have a hard time with the fonts.

I believe the minimum setting the game plays at is 1280X720 or something like that.

I tried setting my resolution to less then my native, hoping that would make the text more readable.  The text is bigger, but still suffers from a kind of antialiasing problem.  I have seen screenshots of the game, though, where that problem is not apparent, the text is clear and easy to read.
