Is there a way to have the settings change on the fly depending on whether a window is in the background or foreground? Of course there's the FPS caps for back/foreground - but if I could have the effects scale up or down depending on whether the window was the primary or not, that would be spectacular.

As it is, right now I just have everyone set to medium-high settings because I do a lot of switching between windows/FTL with ISBoxer.
Unfortunately not because some graphics changes require the game to be restarted. Sure we've all seen the message

My main window the graphics are at max and my slaves are dialed down so bad they can barely see 10 feet in front of them lol. Works fine for me though.
