How come when I set the Resolution to 800,600 and the window size to 800,600, the graphics sometimes look incomplete? Is there something else that I need to set to make it look right?

What do you mean, incomplete? Post some of your code or post a screenshot.

I set my window like this:



When I remove the line Set Window On, my graphics don't change. But if you have objects or sprites positioned based on the screen size, it could affect things.

that's because when you have a window, the borders are also taken into account. if you use this code, which deletes all the borders and stuff:



you see the letters are fine. if you do it this way, you could code your own border and etc.

If you want to keep the window borders and title bar, there's a command called SET WINDOW CLIENT SIZE in my plug-in set that will allow you to specify the size of the area inside the window.

The "set window client size" command just helped me with my screen resolution problem -Re: Blue-GUI!
