any idea if you can make D2R window mode smaller? It seems there's a limit to how small you can make the window..... about half a screens worth

The minimum res is 1280 x 720 (which in reality results in a 1300 x 763 sized window)

Whilst it's possible to reduce the resolution further (using built windows built in user32.dll), the result is the game window starts cutting off part of the screen.

So short answer, no.
