Screen resolution adaptability

Hi guys, I am trying to create an ecommerce application from a psd image that initially has thumbnail pictures of products that spread accross the screen in columns and rows. From there, an end user would be able to click on the various thumbnails for an expanded view with additional product detail. As far as I can tell, you have to define the screen resolution (or file size) when importing the psd image. What happens to the project when a user with a larger or smaller resolution arrives at your site? Is there a way to adapt to any screen resolution and have the thumbnails compress or expand as necessary? Thanks in advance.

Creating resizable screen layouts didn't make the cut for Catalyst 1.0, but is certainly something we recognize and very important for designers and will be working on in a future version.
For now you can design for a single screen size in Catalyst then open the fxp file in Flex Builder to make components resizable.

Re: Screen resolution on BT Yahoo browser

After checking screen resolution, adapter configuration, IE add-ons etc, I too stumbled across this post and hadn't thought of checking the zoom level. After using Control + 0 to reset to 100% it was OK! Many thanks.

Thanks for letting us know tonyhutt.

Using Mini DisplayPort to VGA, screen resolution distorts. How do I fix?

When I use my Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, the resolution gets too big for my screen (mbpro 15") and the same thing appears on the projector I use. I'm not sure if I should change my screen resolution while I use the projector or what?
Also, the first (and only) time I used it, it seemed as if the signal wouldn't even send. After a while of fiddling around, the screen finally showed up on the projector (distorted) but we didn't do anything different to change that. It just kind of did it on it's own. Is this common for "first uses" or will this happen every time?
I plan on using this again Friday.

Welcome! If you have mini displayport, you should try the appropriate discussion group for your newer machine:

Although some things are very similar to the original Macbook Pro, many are not.

Yoga 2 Pro REAL Screen Resolution

SECOND THREAD on this HERE.
I've just discovered that the Yoga 2 Pro seems to be fudging its screen resolution claim. I wouldn't care, except ... it actually has become a small problem ... and one that I presume will get bigger over time
The Y2P has a "3200x1800" screen. It's beautiful. And in most regards its also overkill, since there's no such thing as 3200x1800 content, AND because it cause some issues with size of things on the screen. For this reason, and because pushing fewer pixels will tend to improve battery life, I run my Y2P at 1920x1080, or "normal full HD" resolution.
I recently tried to log into an on-line app I use, as was greeted with a strange error message:
Well, since I'm running 1920x1080 and using a current version of the Chrome browswer, none of that made sense. I tried Internet Explorer as well ... no luck.
I installed Speccy, a tool to check things out inside a computer, and when I got to the display settings, here's what I found:
That's right; I'm "set to 1920x1080", but something is seeing that the REAL resolution is 1280x720. Oh, and elsewhere in Speccy I found that the Y2P is reporting itself as a tablet rather than as a computer ... which probably isn't the issue here, but still unsettling.
So I changed the resolution to 3200x1800. Good news: I was able to get to the web app I need. BAD NEWS: The real resolution appears to be 1600x900:
I called Lnove tech support and got a representative who tells me that this is a Windows 8.1 problem; Windows 8.1 cannot support resolutions higher than 1920x1080, so even though the actual hardware resolution of the Y2P is 3200x1800, it needs to scale itself so Windows doesn't cry. This appears to be false (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/03/21/scaling-to-different-screens.aspx), but I don't really know.
As such, my conclusion is that the representative told me something that was actually the opposite of correct, with correct SEEMING to be that the maximum REAL resolution of the Y2P hardware is in fact 1600x900, with Lenovo's claim of a 3200x1800 resolution being a software/upscaling/interpolation trick.
If that's so, it's really distressing, because it would appear to be a lie about hardware capabilities.
I didn't start out caring about that, although obviously as this point I feel like I've uncovered a smoking gun and would like an answer from Lenovo. But at the end of the day, since I don't need or want that 3200x1800 for the reasons I explained at the top of this post, I just want to know the truth—whatever it is— and to know how to get Windows to report the same resolution to "the world" that it's reporting to me, the user.
And I guess I wouldn't mind knowing why the scaling between real and interpolation is different depending on the settings one selects, too (do the math).
Anyone know anything conclusive? And even better, anyone from Lenovo have an ideas what the truth is here?

I don't know if any of these settings (resolution and/or item sizing) affects battery duration. But you could do a battery test: set it to one mode with full battery charge and then leave it on unused until the battery is 50%. Check how long that took. Repeat for the other mode and compare the time difference if any.
As to why there are these two layers of settings I think this is the answer: Windows metro apps and some Windows desktop application and the new elements in Windows 8 (the new start screen, the charms bar and all metro apps) have smart scaling of user interface elements (text, buttons and so on) designed to support very high resolution screens like ours. So buttons and text in such programs will adapt in size to fit the resolution. But older desktop applications, including the Windows 8.1 desktop taskbar and its icons it seems, does not do such smart scaling. So running them full resolution mean that everything is really tiny. To work around that everything can be scaled up to 200% (or 150% or 125%). I suspect that future versions of Windows or some Windows update may improve these things since the settings and the button descriptions in the settings aren't very user friendly.
But I'm not sure about this. I hope someone in the know jumps in this thread and gives more details.
It is a pity that Lenovo doesn't provide new Yoga 2 Pro users with a user friendly guide with information and tips on good ways to deal with resolutions and these scaling settings.

Screen resolution in my 18 All-in-one PC

Screen appears stretched with the result diagrams like circles look like ovals. I am using Windows 7. I tried to adjust the screen resolution but I am given only 3 options none of which solves my problem. How should I adjust? Please help.

Hello @sundararaj_2000,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that your screen resolution is not what it should be and you do not have the options to correct it properly. I suspece that you do not have the correct drivers installed for your graphics card or they are corrupted. To ensure that you have the correct drivers isntalled please follow the steps below:
First we need to determine what your product number is. You can do this by following the HP Support document that pertains to your computer type
Notebook - How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
All-In-One - How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Desktop - How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Once you have your product number you can use it at HP's Drivers & Downloads page. You should see your computer listed click on it and you will be brought to your computer's drivers page. Select your operating system from the drop-down box. If you are unsure as to what operating system you are running or what version it is you can use Which Windows operating system am I running? to determine what your operating system is and Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit? to determine what version the operating system is. Once you have your operating system selected click 'Next' and scroll down you will see Driver - Graphics. Click on Driver - Graphics and you will see your Graphics driver. Download and save it to your Desktop or a location you will remember on your computer.
Now that you have your wireless driver downloaded follow the instructions I have set out below:
Step 1. At the Tiles Menu type "device manager"
Step 2. Click on Device Manager
Step 3. Click on Display Adapters
Step 4. Right-click on your Display Adapter and select Uninstall
***Ensure you delete the driver when the option is presented
Step 5. Go to the graphics drivers you downloaded earlier and install them
Step 6. Restart your computer
***Now try to adjust your screen resolution.

In rootuielementcontainer I validate stretchedHorizontally's flag and stretchedVertically's flag; so when user explode the browser,the window is adapted to the resolution choosen. Now in the second transparent container I display an existing pdf; in interactive form element I set height to 100% and width to 100% but the pdf didn't adapted to the screen resolution.
How can I adapte the pdf layout to the screen resolution dinamically ?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
What is the layout for 2nd transparant container. Also the layouts set for others.

Satellite M110 - question on Screen resolution 1600 x 900

Hi experts, hoping you can help me out.
Just bought an external screen which needs 1600 x 900 screen resolution,.... trouble is my display settings don't have that option.
If I "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" I can only choose 800x600 or 1024x768
If I uncheck this box "hide...display", the nearest I can choose are 1280x1024 or 1600x1200
Where is the 1600 x 900 option??? everything on the external screen is sttrreettched out.....
I have
- Satellite M110 PSMB0A
- Windows XP
- Display adapter says "Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family"
- I've downloaded the latest driver, (at least I think I did!) and my driver version is 6.14.10.4543 dated 23/03/06
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
There are two reasons why a favorite resolution is not available.
1) the graphic card driver does not support such resolution
2) or/and the graphic card doesnt support it too.
In the user manual of Satellite M110 you should find a info (somewhere at the end of user manual) what resolutions are supported and available.
If the graphic card would support such resolution then this would mean that your installed driver is the reason why you cannot choose this resolution.
In such case its advisable to update the driver and to use the one from the Intel page.
The graphic chip is Intel one and therefore the driver from Intel page should work.
In some cases you would be not able to install the driver executing the setup.exe.
In such case you have to go to the device manger and have to use the advanced installation procedure. Then you could point to the driver package which you have downloaded previously from Intel page.

Can't start MAIL or STORE because of "too low screen resolution"

I can't start either mail app or store app because of "too low screen resolution".
My netbook (eMachines eM350) has maximum 1024x600, these app require at least 1024x768

I have developed a lot of code, and while more recent machines have higher resolutions, I find it prudent not to assume everyone has an 8K panel
No one cares much what you have or have not done, this thread is not about you. If you'd actually developed any Modern apps you'd know that the minimum resolution for them is, as has been stated numerous times here already. Stating that you develop for 640x480
displays clearly indicates that you've never developed a Modern app. Additionally, it should be obvious even to you that a minimum resolution of 1024x768 does not assume that everyone has "an 8K panel".
go write some shaders you clearly have no idea whatsoever about development
i can make programs rescale to fit any screen size, just because you are too stunned to figure that out

Why Does The Display Cable Length Change Screen Resolution?

I have a Power Mac running two 23" Samsung Displays using 6' cables. This has worked fine for 3 years. Recentily I tried to use 15' cables, but it changes the resolution of the displays. The resolutions are not even the same.
Any ideas on this? The 1st image shows the screen resolutions with the shorter cables. The 2nd image shows the resolutions with the longer cables.
Thanks!

Do not use the menuBar item for debugging. It shows only "greatest hits". The full range you can select from will be shown in:
System Preferences > Displays
The DVI connector on the computer outputs a "regular" VGA signal in the blade at the end and the four pins around it, plus H-Sync (which is in the top row of the grid next to them). Its "adapter" just swaps the signals around.
The Mini DisplayPort adapter asserts a signal to the Mini DisplayPort which requests VGA-compatibility mode, and the interface produces an approximation of VGA.

2011 MBP having limited screen resolution in Bootcamp

Hi All,
Running Bootcamp 4.0 with Win7. Bootcamp software is installed, drivers seem to be in place.
The screen has a limited resolution though, not the full 1440 x900 that it should have. Clicking on screen resolution only shows the one option for resolution.
Any thoughts?
A few other data points, loaded the bootcamp partion up in Parallels and I get the full resolution experience.

That's odd. Which model are you running? 13", 15", or 17"?
It's entirely possible that the Intel (13") or AMD (15"/17") video driver might not have installed properly. Check the Device Manager (Start > right-click Computer > Manage, then click Device Manager at left of the resulting window). If under Display Adapters you see "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter", or a "Video Controller" under Other Devices, then this may be your issue.
Running Boot Camp Setup a second time should fix this, but it's also possible that the driver CD did not burn properly and therefore the folders that contain drivers might be corrupted enough so as not to have been read during Setup. In this case, your best bet is to burn the CD again--to a known-good CD-R.

Screen resolution reset on wake up

screen resolution reset on wake up
I have a macbook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2010, Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3) running Yosemite OS X 10.10.2 (14C1514) connected to a high resolution display (2560x1440 BenQ BL2710) via a MDP2DVID adapter and a dual link DVI cable. Just sometimes (apparently randomly about once in 20 occasions) when I wake up the computer it turns both screens off for a second then turns them on again with the resolution reset to a low level on the built-in screen, and the external display is reduced to a small window in the centre. Sleeping and waking the computer usually brings it back to normal but with many of my open windows resized to a small level.
Does anyone know how this could be corrected?
Thanks
John Nixon

Same object size (front panel) with different screen resolution

Hi everybody,
I realised an application, and I try to instal it on various computer. The probleme is that they haven't the same screen resolution, so the front panel is not the same on each computer. It is possible to build an application which have the same front panel with different screen resolution ?
Kriss.

Hi Krisss,
switch off any "adapt to screen resolution" switches in the VI properties...
You should also define "same front panel" and "same object size"! Do you mean the same pixel size or size in mm or size in percent of screen?
Best regards,

Increase screen resolution

I have a Power Mac G4 with Leopard 10.5.8 (ATI 9600 Radeon video card). I am using a 24" VGA Asus screen. The only resolution available in the display option pannel is 800x600. How can I increase the screen resolution?

Sorry I can't locate the file com.apple.windowserver.plist
My graphics card has two dvi ports and I am using a dvi to vga adapter
here's my G4/24"/VGA/Asus/LCD in 10.5.8...

[SOLVED]Screen resolution began to be incorrectly detected

After installing some packages not having obvious relations to video issues (mysql and zfs related packages), the screen resolution on my 1280x1024 screen began to be set as 1024x768 without 1280x1024 in the list of possible modes. I tried to X -configure but to no avail. Reinstalling xorg-server also didn't help. I tried to manually detect and add 1280x1024 mode with xrandr, this mode began to appear in the modes list, but the resolution remains 1024x768 when it's selected.
I have an ancient SiS videocard, but it worked OK with the standard vesa driver.
What can be the cause of this issue and how it could be corrected?

The X server is started via startxfce4 in the ~/.xinitrc file:
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
exec startxfce4
I tried to use the recommendations about using xrandr. The command
# cvt 1280 1024
produces the following:
# 1280x1024 59.89 Hz (CVT 1.31M4) hsync: 63.67 kHz; pclk: 109.00 MHz
Modeline "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
Then I perfrom the following two commands:
# xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
# xrandr --addmode default "1280x1024_60.00"
This adds the 1280x1024 mode to the list of available modes in the display control panel, but when
this mode is selected - nothing happens and the resolution remains the same: 1024x768.
EDIT:
I tried all three SiS drivers from the repository: sis, sisusb and sisimedia. In all three cases 'X -configure' failed with an error message: "No devices to configure". The strange thing is that the vesa driver worked OK out of the box. What could cause such a strange problem with the screen resolution?
EDIT 2:
The cause of the problem was the cable from the monitor to the computer: it was twisted and apparently was causing some aberrations to the signal. I found out it when added to the xorg.conf file the line HorizSync = 58-61. After adding that line the problem disappeared. I began to think why the things previously have been working OK without that line. And supposed that the matter is in hardware. I straighted out the cable and the problem isn't occuring anymore even without the xorg.conf editings.
