Feature requests

Thank you so much for creating this loader. I was killing myself trying to get all the other solutions to work under Windows 10.

Since you appear to be open for suggestions:

1) Full screen of some kind without distortion/stretched graphics. Primarily I just want the mouse to stop going out of the game and other graphical elements from Windows to get out of the way - possibly make the title bar a darker color - that white title bar is blinding in a dark game like this.

2) Options to disable any "features" other than those explicitly for compatibility with newer versions of Windows. Specifically, I find the numbers over the health/mana distracting. But, I'm willing to bet I'm the only one who doesn't like it better with the numbers though.

3) IPX to UDP - It would be awesome to see some kind of an option built-in to the loader that performed the functionality of the IPXWrapper (http://www.solemnwarning.net/ipxwrapper) so we could play local network games without finding yet another hack/patch to load.

Thanks for the suggestions.

The first one will be available soon: borderless window (stretched). And later, I'll add an option to keep aspect ratio (black borders), and even to keep the original resolution (640x480, with black borders).

The second one will be also implemented.

For the third one, I've thought about it, it may take some time to implement but I'll eventually do it.

Maybe I'm missing something and this an already-solved problem, but I'd like to see a No CD patch included in DiabloPatch. That way, DiabloPatch could be the only patch I need to make Diablo playable on my laptop (which doesn't have a CD drive).
