I'm using a Toshiba e830, which has a VGA screen, and I've installed the VGA version of python.exe, but after creating the screenTuner.py app for Miles, I was surprised to find my screen resolution was set to 240x320. What to do about that?
Well, there are utilities like SE_VGA and OzVGA that force your PDA into VGA mode, but not apps respond well to that: low-res apps end up taking up just 1/4 of the screen! What is needed is an app-by-app approach. Well, I found one. There's a freeware app called ForceHiRes available from a Japanese developer at : http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-Cupertino/2039/ the page is in Japanese, but you should be able to find the download link. Install, run, and add python to the list of hi-res apps. After I did so, now my screenTuner.py app reports a screen resolution of 480x640, which gives me a whole lot room in which to place widgets! Couple of other apps on that page worth mentioning: FileDialogChanger, an improved file dialog, and Screen Rotate, which on each invocation will rotate your screen another 90° clockwise. I put an icon to it on my Home screen app launcher. cheers, -- Stewart Midwinter [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
