I've been messing around with DBPro for a while now. I've always used full desktop and not exclusive full screen. I've been fooling around with exclusive and I wanted to ask something:

I noticed that as with window mode, the size of the window can be entered from the properties tab, and then changed in your source. I cannot do this for full screen more.

Using the check for display modes, why can't we change the size of the screen in pixels to match our screen/ the users screen size (in other words, my 1440x900 pixel screen is ALWAYS stretched/pinched) OR is it possible to correctly retain the right pixel/aspect ratio for the screen based on the monitor size rather than values constantly equivalent to the power of 2.

A little understanding is what I'm looking for.

-D.

You can use fullscreen exclusive set to the full size of the desktop like this (at the start of your code would be best):


Oh, the display width / height commands might be from the "Matrix Utility" plugin by IanM... I would suggest getting it to anyone! It has more usefull commands than you can possibly imagine...
