Screen Resolution; Drop Away Interface; Action Cursors - Black Isle ICEWIND DALE 2 Manual

The standard resolution that Icewind Dale II allows you to play in is 800 x 600. If you would rather play at a
higher resolution, you can modify it in the Config program. The Config program can be reached via the short-
cut in the Start Menu. Note that even though you may run the game at 1024 x 768, 1600 x 1200, or 2048 x
1536 resolution, Icewind Dale II officially supports only 800 x 600 resolution.
Certain hot keys will allow you to drop away interface panels on the main screen. By default, pressing the Y
key will make the character and action button panel on the main screen drop away, while pressing the H key
will make the entire interface drop away. Pressing any of the keys a second time will bring up the panels
again. Note that pausing the game while the interface is hidden will bring up all of the panels on the interface.
Unpausing the game will hide the panels again if any were hidden before the pause.
Action cursors pop up when you can perform certain actions. If a given cursor is selected it may be changed
by clicking on a different action button, by hitting "ESC," or by L-clicking an area where the cursor has no
effect (e.g. a non-object or the interface border). Casting spells is cancelled by a R-click, or finished by a L-
click on a creature or area (depending on the type of spell).
