You know how if the Element Client isnt the active window, everything in it pauses? It would be nice if you could toggle this on and off, so like, if i wanted to, i could browse the web while being able to have a corner of the client in the background so i can watch faction chat and whispers without being required to bring the client to the front constantly to see if anyone has said anything.

    He means that the picture pauses.... the game keeps running.... When you go back to the window the picture just instantly jumps to wherever you happen to have went or whatever has changed. The OP just wants that to not happen, and for the screen to continue to be active even while on a different window.

    its easy if u use vista, just press the windows key(the button next to the [alt]'s with a picture of the windows icon :P) then the game minimizes into the task bar with the name: Element Client. then just do what u want. to resume, click it again. watch out for report bugs tho. x.x
