You know the resolution from the desktoprectlist. You would want to be sure that you resize the same monitor that the stage is going to appear on. Probably (the desktoprectlist)[1].
Are you sure that director can resize the desktop? It can change the colordepth, and no, you don't want to do that. Do it with your own Lingo, that way you can make a note of the original setting, and politely set it back. I'm guessing that you mean 800/600/16 bit and not 800/600/16 colors? Some Mac video boards didn't do 16 bit (or 15 bit), they went straight from 256 colors up to millions, with nothing in between. If the intention is to make sure that there's a nice color range, why not first check if they're in millions, and if they are don't mess with the color at all. I mean, why lower the quality just for the sake of it? Direct OS Xtra has a dosSetDisplay function that may do the resolution change. In general I think that resizing the desktop is an impolite thing to do, but I don't know anyone who would not allow that while playing Quake. -- [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
