[ANN] TORONTO, Ontario, Canada (November 8, 2006) -- Chaotic Box
announces the availability of Display Overlord version 2.0.1, an open
source plugin for REALbasic 5.2 and up that provides global 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.
This is a maintenance update of the recently released Display
Overlord version 2 series, which added support for Mac OS X Universal
Binary targets and introduced a revamped and improved API.
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:
