Scanlines

The scanlines don't work in any windowed mode (in linux and win32). It's because they are rendered by a hack on allegro bitmaps and this hack does not work in windows. Also they usually don't work with the accelerated driver of the win32 version.

If you allow raine to select the best video mode when you load a game, then it will keep your scanlines setting when selecting its video mode.

Fullheight
: Requires a mode with double height to be available. I mean if you want to have 320x240 with fullheight scanlines, then the 320x480 mode must be available with your current video drivers. In recent raine versions (0.34 and up), only the supported video modes will be listed when you select fullheight scanlines (with most video drivers). The result is just the mode yuo selected plus a nice scanline effect :) !
Halfheight
: This one has no special requirement. It divides the current height of the screen by 2. That is if you are in 400x300 and then you select halfheight scanlines, you get a 400x150 mode with scanlines effect. Of course the aspect ratio is changed and that is where the double width effect comes usefull !
