Screen Resolution
« on: March 31, 2008, 05:55:40 PM »
Derek Warner raised a point about screen resolution - So to help with the future development of Paddleducks, it would be useful to know what resolution most people are using.

If your setting isn't listed, please vote using the "Other" option and give details in a message in this topic.

How would we find this out please?

I use Firefox and treble the image size. I find it gives me great big print.

Cheers...ken

I found if I right click on the DESKTOP (ie. no windows open) then 'properties' then 'settings', it shows the resolution just below a 'slider' you use to change it....if that's any help

I think I found why your duck is wandering its all the extra space! You have to tie him down.
My Main Computer is 1024 X 768 at 32 bit color, my wife's laptop which I am sometimes allowed to use is 1280 X 800 at 32 bit color, with both of them the duck stays put, but I can't get either one to spell "colour" correct on their displays.

Gerald

Thanks, Eddy.  I seem to be the same as most,  ie  1024x768
