[solved]Different Screen Resolution for different Users[/solved]

hello
i'm running kdemod
i'd like to set up an account for my mum
she prefers a resolution of 800X600
whereas i like 1024X768
my xorg.conf is set up like
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "0"
Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0"
Option "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
when i log into the newly created account and use nvidia-settings
the resolution can be changed successfully
but upon restarting
it reverts back to 1024X768
i'd like to know how i could set up different resolutions for both of us

11gr1 - Handling different screen resolutions for an enterprise app.

Hi,
We are developing an enterprise application that will be deployed at different clients with different hardware.
We are confused about how to handle different screen resolutions and wonder how others are handling this.
We have some fixed size areas in our screens and liquid areas for content that may expand. The problem is say that you have a table with 6 columns. This table will be rendered nicely at 1280X800 but not at 1650X1050 or 800X600.
At higher resolutions we will either end up having some blank space or expand one of the columns of the table , but can't expand every column proportionally and this will look ugly.
For lower resolutions same problem in a different way will come into picture, we will not able to resize the columns and end up with scroll bars etc ...
What is the best practice with handling different screen resolutions for components like table,panel splitter etc ?
Thanks

Hi Muhammed,
I don't think that any better solution exists, you already use liquid layouts and define widths & heights with percentages etc. In my opinion using blank column at the end of table columns makes table's looking better. Additionally creating custom skin for table and defining column heights & widths with % or em may help you to stretch columns?

How to programmatically resize vi for different screen resolutions ?

Hi,
I have been struggling with this,How can i built a vi that should run for different screen resolutions (on different pc's).
There are several threads on forum , But i dont find the exact solution for it.
I have already tried with VI properties in the VI but i dont think its working.
Can someone please help me ?
Thanks and regards,
Shivkant Paswan

Yup it is a pain to use panes, but that is the easiest method I've found which meets my requirements. Learn to use panes and splitters effectively, and then learn their limitations and workaround when you find those limitations. In general LabVIEW should handle multi-resolutions, and resizing better but these are the tools we have today.

Photoshop RAW processing with different screen resolutions

Hi, I know this might not be fully a photoshop question, but I have done so many searches online & am unable to find anything.
I usually do RAW photo editing on photoshop on my old Fujitsu laptop & have recently I have upgraded to a MacBook Pro. I have noticed that when I do the same kind of processing on my Macbook, the photos tend to not be as dark & have contrast as I would normally like it to be.
Meaning to say, photos that look really dark in on my Macbook look rather greyed & washed out on my Fujitsu, however the photos I have processed on my Fujitsu all look nicely exposed on my Macbook.
So is this due to different screen resolutions? Because the photos I have edited on my mac look really different when compared to on my fujitsu, like the colours etc. Please do advise me on what exactly is the problem & what I can do to solve it. Thanks!

It all depends on the colour range, brightness, and contrast of the screen, and the screen technology. The only way to make somewhat sure that the colours are "correct" and consistent is to purchase a hardware screen calibration device, like a spyder. But even then the laptop screens tend to be quite bad for this type of work.

Images: Different screen resolutions, howto ...?

As you might know, there are several screen resolutions, used by different devices (iPhone 3G/3GS/4, iPad). You might take a look at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2993006/designing-for-varying-mobile-device-resolutions -i-e-iphone-4-iphone-3g An example: If i would like to build a generic app, with optimized images for the iPhone 3G/3GS, 4 and iPad, how can i implement the images within my application with the use of different screen resolutions (dpi). 3G: image_low_res.jpg, 4: image_high_res.jpg etc. Is there a better overview for iOS devices showing the exact resolution (dpi)?

In objectiveC/XCode, you would have two images - one at standard size, and one at double resolution for the retina display. The double-resultion image has a '@2x' suffix just before extension. The OS automaticallt uses the correct image depending on the type of phone (i.e. it uses the @2x image on the iPhone4, and the original image everywhere else).
Of course this doesn't help us in Flash. I don't think Adobe have built this feature in to the packager?
Perhaps a good way to achieve the same results is to have the application detect the phone type on startup/constructor by checking the screen size (Capabilities.screenResolutionX/Y). Then, whenever you need a screen coordinate, distance or an image, you have a custom class (probably static methods) that you ask for this information.
It seems like a lot of work, but if you are really keen on supporting the retina display, this is probably your best bet!
Psuedo code:
// Two images in the library
// spriteA.png
// [email protected]
// All my coordinates are measured in original iPhone coords (320x480)
// I am now asking for a point in the middle of the screen
// If I am on iPhone4, the resulting point will be (320,480)
// If I am on iPhone, the resulting point will be (160,240)
var p : Point = ResHandler.createPoint( 160, 240 );
// Now I grab my bitmap
// If I am on iPhone, the resulting bitmap will be spriteA.png
// If I am on iPhone4, the resulting bitmap will be [email protected]
var b : Bitmap = ResHandler.createBitmap( 'spriteA' );
// Now place the bitmap
b.x = p.x;
b.y = p.y;
addChild( b );
// Now move the bitmap by 100 pixels.
// If I am on iPhone the resulting distance will be 100 pixels
// If I am on iPhone4, the resulting distance will be 200 pixels
var d : Number = ResHandler.getDistance( 100 );
b.x += d;
Hope it helps

Displaying flash in different screen resolution.

How to set up the flash to play in different screen
resolutions? The original is at 640x480 but I wanted to display it
in a bigger screen? Any ideas is appreciated.
Thanks a bunch

You can also use our Flash third party tool to automatically
set the users
screen resolution before it begins.
Download a FREE evaluation copy from
http://www.jugglor.com
then go to
Setup Settings -> Windows Settings -> Full Screen
Resolution
Try the other features on there also.
Hope it helps.

Hi I have two questions. I am using NAS 4.1 and was wondering is it possible to set a different session timeout for different users? How is the session timeout set? Thanks, YS

<i>I am using NAS 4.1 and was wondering is it possible to set a different session timeout for different users?</i>
Um, there is no such thing as NAS4.1.
I'm assuming that you mean NAS4.0 (maybe NAS4.0sp1?). If so, then the session timeouts are specified in the session section of the NTV configuration files.
AFAIK, you can specify session timeouts on a per user basis.

Displaying remote panel on different screens with different screen resolution

Why SAP Standard Program Can full screen in different screen resolution ,but my own program can't?

How to make my program can display full screen in the different screen resolution ? can you tell me ,
Thanks everyone! eg. T-code: SOST

It appears that the full-screen display will only work on the display that has the menu bar.
You can switch the menu bar to your external display by going to Solid Apple -> System Preferences -> Displays, then Arrangement.
Grab the menu bar and drop it on the icon representing your external display.
When you full screen an app it should then full screen on the Cinema display.
I wish it would just full screen on the display the window is on, but that is evidently not the way it was designed to work.

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?

Setting different resolutions for different displays?, setting different resolutions for different displays?

Hi,
I have a 30" dell display that I have used with my MBP. I recently got a MBA and installed mountain lion. One of the things they inexplicably removed was the ability in the menu bar to set different resolutions for different displays. The only way I can get my Dell Monitor to work is to use mirroring. But I don't want mirroring. I want two separate displays. In Snow Leopard, the drop down display menu in the menu bar allowed you to pick different resolutions for different displays. Is there any possible way to do that in Mountain Lion?
Tom

Yes, assuming that the 8" display has a resolution that the Mac can support. When you open the Displays system preference, you'll get a settings window on each display (as long as the option for Mirroring isn't checked).
Regards.

Different zoom levels for different clips in the same project?

Hi
I am making a movie with videos from two different cameras. As a result some of the clips are cut down in size to a small portion of the screen. This can be solved if it is possible to use different zoom levels for different clips in the same project. I have not been able to do this. Is it possible?
kind regards
Soren

You can scale the small clips up to the same size of the larger one... but you will get a quality loss.
Using Motion or Scale to Frame Size commands
Better to scale the large ones down to a Sequence that matches the smaller clip dimensions.

Set desktop wallpaper based on screen resolution for both WinXP and Win7

I'm hoping someone can answer this for me. I would like to be able to set the desktop wallpaper based on the current screen resolution when a user logs in. I've made several .BMP files for varying resolutions with our corporation logo. But, say
if a wallpaper for a resolution of 1024x768 on a 4:3 monitor is set, then that monitor is replaced with a 16:10 monitor with a resolution of 1280x800 or 1600x900, the wallpaper looks stretched out and ugly. The only way to change it is manually on
each computer, but most end users (students) would not have permissions to do so.
I thought this question would have been asked before, but after many, many searches, I've only come across one reference that copies the background from a network share to a location on the local computer, which I found
here. In my case, the file will already be on the local computer, but I am not sure how to force the system to change the wallpaper based on the current screen resolution. I'm sure it is possible and maybe I am overlooking something very simple. I
was also thinking that this would either happen only once on first login or maybe based on user authentication (which group the user belongs to) so that teachers are still able to change their wallpaper, but students would not be able to.
If it helps, I will be deploying the image using MDT 2010 Update 1. The same base image will be used on multiple machine types (HP desktop sand laptops and Lenovo desktops) which could have one of 6-7 different monitor types connected. I'd also like
this to happen on the local machine instead of GPO or logon script as there is already a lot happening there.
I would need to be able to do this for both Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Ent x64. The XP machines will mostly have 4:3 monitors, but there are exceptions.
Maybe what I am asking isn't entirely possible or possible at all. I, unfortunately, am in the extremely early stages of learning Microsoft Scripting (VBScript and PowerShell) to use with MDT 2010, so I know next to nothing when it comes to these scripting
processes, but am willing to try and learn.
Any help anyone can suggest, I would be extremely grateful.

I almost abandoned this because I thought it was going to interfere with using BGInfo. But, as it turns out, I was able to incorporate the running of BGInfo into a script that I
created. And, once I saw what 16:10 Aspect Ratio background looked like on a 16:9 Aspect Ratio screen, I was not satisfied.
I happened to use the first script that MkShffr posted from geekshangout.com, but then I added more items to it. I also created three high-res wallpaper backgrounds as suggested
by pagerwho.
My script is based on the Aspect Ratio of the current resolution. Since most, if not all, systems will get the resolution set during deployment, this was easy to calculate.
And by forcing the output of the Aspect Ratio to two decimal places, I just used a Case statement to select which aspect ratio to choose from and apply the wallpaper assigned to it. I thought about using If Then statements, but I think the Case statement
is much cleaner.
And, because BGInfo wants to change the Picture Position to "Tile" instead of "Fit" that I manually set it to in my image, I added two reg key change lines per Case. BGInfo still
changes the Picture Position to "Tile", but for whatever reason, this works. I tested this by using a laptop with a 16:9 Aspect Ratio screen. In my image, I manually set a 16:10 wallpaper because that will be the primary Aspect Ratio used in our corporation,
however we are getting more 16:9 Aspect Ratio laptops and from what HP is saying, everything will be standardizing on this Aspect Ratio.
I made sure the Screen profile that I saved in my image was loaded which includes the 16:10 wallpaper. I then placed this script in the “C:\ProgramData\Wallpaper_Change”
directory that I created in the image. I then added a registry value in HKLM\System\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and created a String Value. I did this so that it would run at log in, but I didn't want it to show in the Startup Folder in the All Programs
Menu. It takes less than a second to run, but it seems to work well. I tested it several time to see if there were any anomalies, but it seemed to work great each time. I have yet to test it with a computer that is on the domain with a regular user account,
which I will be doing in the next day or two.
In the mean time, if someone want to try it out and see if it works from thier use, here is the code. I did comment out the wscript.echos, but left them in to use for troubleshooting
in the future.

How we will maintain screen resolution for tmaintaining able control in BDC

how we will maintain screen resolution for tmaintaining able control in BDC. can you give the code or how we have to set it

Hi,
You need to use the CTU_PARAM options with the call transaction method.This is used if you would like to do a commit work once call trnasaction is done. This has also got very important property, for example if your Screen resolution is different from others then the screen (Application) will be different that is you'll be having say 5 lines in your screen where as your friend will be having 8 or 10 so your program might fail in this case. If you set variable DEFSIZE as 'X' it will always use the default screen size and hence avoids error.
Use CALL TRANSACTION 'XXX' OPTIONS FROM w_ctu_params.( type CTU_PARAMS)
This structure contains the follwing.
DISMODE : Display mode (like the MODE addition)
UPDMODE: Update mode (like the UPDATE addition)
CATTMODE: CATT mode (controls a CATT)
CATT mode can have the following values:
' ' No CATT active
'N' CATT without single-screen control
'A' CATT with single-screen control
DEFSIZE : Use default window size (Here we are handling those transaction by giving default window size)
RACOMMIT: Do not end transaction at COMMIT WORK
NOBINPT : No batch input mode (that is, SY-BINPT = SPACE)
NOBIEND : No batch input mode after the end of BDC data.
The components DEFSIZE , RACOMMIT, NOBINPT, and NOBIEND always take the following values:
'X' Yes
This might help u in better understanding...
