As the title says. I can't seem to get the programs resolution to change while its running. I have a menu set up, and there are options for different resolutions.

Example, whenever I try to call dbSetDisplayMode(800, 600, 32) the program changes the window size, and crashes.

If I add a dbSetWindowOff() at the start of the program, the resolution changes and it does not crash, however the screen turns blue, and I can't really see any sprites that SHOULD be there.

Is there something I'm missing? Is there another PROPER way to do this?

Every time you change the resolution all loaded images are erased so they need to be reloaded.

Thank you for the response.

Is this also true for 3d objects? And is it possible to change resolution while the program is running in a window? As I mentioned, it only works while in full screen, at the moment.

3D objects remain as they are, but the textures are also erased My advice is to set the resoltion at the start, and don't change it

Well that's the idea actually Though I wonder why this causes so much problems? Its generally true for all games that you can easily change their resolution mid-game. Is this a Dark GDK specific quirk? Do anyone have any suggestions how this might be done, perhaps bypassing Dark GDK?
