They are shorts because the underlying graphics API's use shorts (although a few are moving to larger sizes now.) So rendering with a co-ordinate frame bigger than a short can give odd results, or give different results on different platforms. Fltk-2 uses a larger frame - int I think - (as do some of the fltk-1.1-utf8 patches.) However (and this is gong to sound harsh, sorry!) it may be better to think about *why* your frame has to be so large, and manage your own "virtual" co-ordinate system at your "full" resolution, then map your "extended virtual widget space" back into a small subset of actual widgets close to the visible screen space. That's what I did. Of course, that may be no use at all for your situation!
