How do I force a desired screen resolution?

Frequently my Mac mini (2007 model) stretches a 4:3 image (1280×768) onto a 16:9 screen (1600×900). Is it possible to force the Mac to default to 1600×900 on startup or restart? If so, how?

Yes, I do turn on the display (HP LE2001w) before the Mac mini, but I still have the aspect ratio problem. I don't even see 1600×900 in the Mac mini's display menu. What else can I do?

I??ve got a U400 which was equipped with the Intel graphic card and I??ve got an external LCD which I have connected to the U400 using the DVI-to-HDMI cable.
My U400 unit supports the HDMI and the LCD the DVI port.
I have received also the driver disk with my LCD and I have installed the software.
I have also update the Intel driver and used one from the Intel page.
Now I have the access to many different external resolutions and can choose it.

How do I develop for multiple screen resolutions using Adobe Air

Hi,
I'm looking at developing mobile apps using Adobe Air but there's something I'm not quite sure. Sorry if this is a newbie question or has been repeated but I have looked at tutorials, etc but just want to get a general idea on how to prepare the assets. Here are some of my questions:-
1) If I want to develop for the iPhone non-retina and retina resolution, do I actually need to only write the code and layout the graphics in retina(960 x 640) stage size and it will automatically scale down for non-retina resolution?
2) How do I cater for iPhone 5 resolution? Do I actually need to swap say the background images through code by detecting the resolution size it was in? or do I actually just leave the background image longer it exceeds the stage height so when it's iPhone 5 it will show everything?
thanks for the help!

If you are talking about regular Flash work, and not your own code-layout application, then what happens depends on the scale mode of the stage. Typically, when doing code layout the stage is set to no_scale, and you have to do all the hard work yourself, calculating the size of things, and laying them out with ActionScript.
If it's more of a typical Flash graphical scene there are two other scale modes that make life easier for you.
The default scale mode is show_all. With that you will be certain to see all of the content of your original Flash stage, and if the screen is a wider ratio than your stage, the content that is off the sides of the stage will be revealed. See this app I made, that uses that technique:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/meet-heckerty-funny-interactive/id514220257?mt=8
It works well enough, I have enough extra background graphics to go out to a 16:9 screen, including iPhone 5. That particular stage is 1024x768, and it will scale all the way from iPad 3 Retina down to iPhone 3gs.
The other scale mode that is useful is no_border. In that mode you are certain to not have any black borders around the stage. It achieves that by cropping into either the left and right, or the top and bottom, of the stage. See these apps I made, that work that way:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/milkshake-mayhem/id556962979?mt=8
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/p.s.-snowflake-yourself/id571384475?mt=8
In both of those cases I have content that is correct for half way between the ratio limits of 16:9 and 4:3 (or 9:16 and 3:4 for the portrait case). When the app runs on your device, some amount of the left and right, or the top and bottom, of the stage is cropped. I have enough background content for that to be ok, and all of the important content is within the middle 14:9 or 9:14 area of the screen. The stage size for the landscape app is 1680xx1080, exactly 14:9. This approach is better than the show_all one, in that the user doesn't feel like they are seeing a lot of blank space, as can be the case when viewing a 4:3 stage on a 16:9 screen.
One last thing, even with either of those techniques the app won't fill the iPhone 5 screen. To get that to work you have to include a splash screen that is 640x1136, and name [email protected]. With that in place iOS knows to make your app use the full width or height of the iPhone 5.

How to get more independent of screen resolution

Read already a number of topics about this in this forum. But I still wonder
how to set up ones Swing components for different screen resolutions. What
I did up to now is checking for the current screenwidth and setting sizes for
each resolution. Worked OK. But nowadays there are so many different
screen sizes, this is getting too complex.
I mean, one has to set the component's size, its location, the fonts used,
possible Icons in the Toolbar, the size of the components internal panels,
the insets, border sizes, and many other things. So, assuming ones window
with all the components looks great in one resolution, the developer still has
to check whether it all looks so great as well in any other thinkable screen
resolution. Even in those which the developer isn't even able to create using
his graphics card.
So, my question is: Is there somewhere a clever tool inside Java which makes
the total layout of components and their sizes inside the user's main window
more independent of the screen resolution?
For instance, it would be great to be able to define the component's size,
location, and so on, using the actual size it should appear on any screen.

You are right. For those using advanced high resolution
monitors, this will be a disadvantage. However, I'm quite
sure, the average user I'm aiming for, still uses rather
standard type of monitors. Of, course, in the (near?)
future, everybody may be using high resolution (same
progress as with our tv-screens). So I may have to include
these screen sizes as well later.
Your presentation made me aware of the great need for
everybody in the graphics business for a solution for this.
Still think, this can be automated in a not too difficult way.
I mean, if I can hard code this in such a way, that nobody
is able to see the difference of the program running on a
different resolution, it must be possible to include an
option in whatever programming language, to create ones
graphics components in a resolution independent way.
At least, I think. May be a good starting point for my next
project.
Thanks anyway for your help an remark. I think you still
deserve your dukes. Here they are.

How to find out the current screen resolution/width in webdynpro.

HI,
Can any one please tell me how to get the screen resolution in webdynpro?
Regards
-Sandip

Hi Sandip,
- view size can be set by setting the 'width' of the RootUIElementContainer. By defalut, it will be 100% only. Also, It is always better to use the % coz it does not distort your view with different screen resolutions.
- while creating the iview, you have the property like 'HeightType'. There you can set the value as FIXED, AUTOMATIC & FULL_PAGE. If you wish, you may leave it as it is.
- All you have the properties like 'Fixed Height' etc to set the size values.

How do I force a larger display resolution?

I have a MacBook with a native display resolution of 1280x900 or whatever it is. This is the laptop is use for work. When at work, I connect it to an external 1920x1200 display and it works great.
When I bring it home, I'd like to plug it into my home network and then use a VNC viewer on my home machine to see that same 1920x1200 screen. However, once I disconnect the MacBook from the monitor at work, the display reverts to its native size.
Obviously, I could either work on the MacBook directly, connect the MacBook to a monitor at home, or I could leave the MacBook at work and connect via VNC from home to work. Each of these solutions will not work for me.
Anyone know how to force MacOSX to make the desktop resolution an arbitrary size and not limited to the size of the display connected to it?
Thanks,

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Coming from UNIX, I was hoping this was just a question of forcing the "window manager" to have a certain resolution with a hacky command line command. Or hack some esoteric config file deep within MacOSX. Anybody know?

How do I force a certain display resolution?

I've had this nagging issue with my Mac Mini both under Tiger and now Leopard where the display resolution is not quite right. I have it connected to a lower end Polaroid FLM-2601 LCD TV and use it function in my entertainment center as a home theater computer.
Now the problem is that the panel supports 1280x768@75Hz via VGA and 1360x768@75Hz via DVI. Now I can attach a monitor and get the resolution I am looking for via either VGA or DVI. Then I unplug the monitor and connect it to the TV and it works just fine at the supported resolutions. However, as soon as the Mac Mini sleeps or restarts it goes to odd resolutions or 74Hz and no picture is displayed. I tried this with an old PowerMac G4 and it just works right. The video chipset or driver in the Mac Mini seems to be the issue with this TV.
Is there some way to override Mac OS X and force a display resolution? Otherwise I end up with a very notchy experience.

I've had some luck with DisplayConfigX - google it. I've only ever used it under Tiger, though, not Leopard. Using it to drive a Vizio plasma screen at a resolution not typically shown under the Monitors control panel in Tiger.

How to automatically scale images to screen resolution?

Hello
I need a bit of help automatically scaling my image to the viewers resolution.
I have done so with a table and it works fine:
<table width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
    <td align="center" bgcolor="#66CCFF"><h1 style="font-size: 30px; text-align: center;"><em>Table Title</em></h1></td>
</tr>
</table>
But I have no clue how to do so for the image.
When I use normal view the image looks alright, but when I go into mobile view it sticks out of the page while the table has a proper resolution.
How do I fix this?

Don't use tables for layouts. They are completely ill suited to modern web design and in particular, responsive web design.
Use CSS layouts with division widths in %.
Example:
CSS Code:
     body {width: 100%;}
     img { max-width:100%}
HTML Code:
     <img src="http://placehold.it/500x350">
Preview in browser & resize your viewport to see what happens to the image.

How to figure out the correct screen resolution?

My 2 year old was playing with my iMac G5 and messed up the resolution setting. I have managed to restore it to something that looks okay, but am not certain what the optimum is. In System Preferences/Displays I have it set to 1600x1200 60Hz, which I suspect is more pixels than this 3.5 year old 17' iMac has. If I go to About this Mac/More Info... I see the iMac resolution says 1440x900 (this is not one of the choices in System Preferences/Displays) and the VGA Display says 1600x1200 @ 60 Hz which I wonder is for any external display or something and I believe just reflects what I have the Preferences set to. Any way to discover what the optimum resolution should be?

I don't think you can choose more pixels than your machine has, or it wouldn't be a choice. I have always understood that the optimum resolution is the largest available as a choice in Display.

How to get screen resolution settings

How do u get the present screen resolution from code?
thanks

The AWT Toolkit class has got a method called getScreenSize(), it returns an instance of Dimension.
I'm not sure what to do when you have multiple screens though; maybe the methods of the classes GraphicsEnvironment and GraphicsDevice can be used.

Screen resolution in VMWare

I just installed the newest Arch .iso into a VMWare Workstation 6.5 virtual machine. Everything seems good, I have Gnome installed, and I am looking at the desktop. However, I can't seem to figure out how to go about changing the screen resolution to 1280x800 so it goes full screen on my laptop. I searched around and found a few things via Google but none of them seemed to solve my issue. I have the vmware video driver installed, I configured xorg.conf according to one of the guides I found, and open-vm-tools is installed and added to the daemons line in rc.conf. If anyone can help me out that would be great, thanks!

I have used Virtualbox A LOT in the past (mostly from when it was innotek). The newest version does not play nice with my Windows XP install. The install takes hours and once it is done I have no network connection. I do still utilize Virtualbox 2.2 on my machine with no problems. I am trying Arch out in VMWare Workstation 6.5 and that's why I am trying to figure this out. I would like to evaluate it for myself.

Wht r CTU-Prameters in BDC & diff. screen resolution b/w client &developmen

1.what are ctu parameters
how are they usefull in
BDC
2. how to avoid problem
when the screen resolution between client system and development system are
different in case of bdc

hi,
The error message that usually comes in status bar while you are running the transaction online might appear in a popup window when you are running that in batch and makes fields disable for input .
sometimes while you are recording a particular transaction you can observe some unwanted screens which will not appear when you are manually using the transaction.
this problem is resolved by ctu_params. this also avoids the screen resolution problem.
example:
Declare a work area of type CTU_PARAMS
X_OPTIONS-DISMODE = 'E'. (dispaly mode)
X_OPTIONS-UPDMODE = 'S'. (update mode)
X_OPTIONS-DEFSIZE = 'X '. (screen resolution)
X_OPTIONS-NOBINPT = 'X'. (hide the popup and unwanted screen)
call transaction tcode using T_BDCDATA[] options from X_OPTIONS.
thanks and rewards
