Full Screen Mode on Windows

Post by Juan Carlos »

The comander ALT+Return in windows doesn't open the program in a true full screen mode only it opens a new screen with a low resolution for example the program window size but adapt to full screen why?

Thanks for your answer, I didn't get open my program to my screen resolution: 1366x768
I think that in the 16:9 resolutions it is impossible adapt the program to these sizes

Humm and when you change between screens or desktop screen with Alt+(Now I don't remenber its name: |<- ->|) in the Hollywood app window shows the windows to size of this application always more littlest than true desktop screen size and other programs open.

Hi Juan,
when I make an app (see GEMZ for example) and I switch to fullscreen using Alt+Enter (Windows) all the window contents it's stretched, internally the graphics is handled exactly like if it was running at the original resolution, but this is the standard behaviour unless you specifically make a function that detect the resolution change and render the graphics to the new resolution and place your graphic elements to the new positions: Think of a brush at (150, 150) on a 800x600 screen, if you have a new resolution of 1024x768 you cannot render the brush at (150, 150) but, using proportions, you have to draw it at 800/1024*150 and 600/768*150 => (117, 117)
:)

Humm, thanks I didn't though in this option scale the graphics to adapt to the screen modes, hum, the use of the windows programs and the easy that they are adapt clouds my ideas sometimes.
