Display Overlord is an open source plugin for REALbasic that provides methods and classes to control video display resolution, refresh rate, colour depth, and brightness. Additional methods are provided to gather display information such as available modes and current screen metrics. Display Overlord was specifically designed for multimedia applications, games, or other kiosk-like projects. The plugin gracefully handles multiple displays, and captures screens before switching resolutions to avoid repositioning desktop icons or disturbing open application windows.

Version 2.0.1 fixes issues with stretched (widescreen) display modes on Mac OS X. Stretched modes are now properly reported in modes lists, and can be specifically requested when changing resolutions.

Display Overlord is compatible with Mac OS Classic/Carbon, Mac OS X PowerPC, and Mac OS X Intel. Non functional stubs are also provided for Windows targets. The free download includes full source code: <http://developer.chaoticbox.com/realbasic.php? tab=plugins#displayoverlord>

Frank.
