Non fullscreen mode

when I'm not running fullscreen on the game (I love fullscreen windowed mode) I lose some of the game window as you can't resize the game window so I can't see my xp bar, is there a chance that it would be posible to resize the game window from the normal resolutions?
 
Just curious, does it show up if you chose a standard resolution in windowed mode that‘s truly smaller than your display’s resolution? For example, if you have a 1080 monitor (1920 x 1080), can you try running the game in windowed at 1280 x 720 to see if using a standard screen size in windowed mode helps…just gotta make sure the sides of the screen in windowed mode aren’t outside of your actual screen (or under the taskbar).

Other players who have similar setups might be able to help, so you may want to post your native screen resolution and perhaps the resolution you run when in windowed mode.
 
if I go down in resolution I can see the xp bar again, so it's just pushed outside the screen in windowed mode, so I guess it have to be made borderless windowed mode or give the option to corner drag and drop to resize the window resolution well or even resize the resolution when you drop into window mode but then again that might push/screw up some of the UI.

And sorry about the delay in responding.

Okay, in Windowed mode, as you mentioned, some of the 1080p is covered by the Windows taskbar and/or goes off the screen. Also, the windows title border at the top of the game Window could push the game screen down even further if it tries to retain full 1080 resolution. Not to mention that if the window itself isn’t positioned right at the very top it could cut off add’l portions of the screen.

I’m not sure if there is a way to do it, but for those who go into windowed mode, the resolution should be scaled down so that: 1. game, 2. its border and title bar, and 3. the windows taskbar all fit on the screen at the same time. Though the game resolution itself might get cut to an awkward series of values.

In the meantime, if possible (or an option), you may be able to use 1440x900 as a default windowed mode resolution. It’s a little shy of 1920x1080, but it’s close and might fit everything. You could also see if there is a 1680x900 option, too. Apologies as I’ve not looked for these resolution options myself for ya.

I ended going back to fullscreen again, but what happened was, there was the window title boarder in the top and then the game window just cut off the Bottom (I have a screen above my main screen and could drag the game further up) so I could see the xp bar and stuff below was gone, but can see in the patch note that we can now resize the window resolution so it might have been fixed.
