Hello all--

A client has asked me to automatically change the user's display to 800
x 600 x 16 for a game. The Mac is giving me pause.

It's pretty easy on Windows--I use Buddy to do all the checking, and
restore the original settings. Buddy doesn't have those calls on the
Mac, though. As far as I can tell, I can't even find out the current
resolution.

As far as I can tell, the only way to change resolution is through the
options when I'm building the projector. So, a couple questions:

- Is there another way, like Buddy on Windows?
- If I let Director change the resolution, does it reset it when it
exits?
- Generally, how do Mac users feel about a game resetting their
resolution? I know I'd blow my stack if a word processor did it, but I
think games are expected to behave differently.

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson
