1600x1200!

Postby jknight8907 » Sun Mar 20, 2005 8:19 pm

:o

I was looking through my system settings and found out I can set my resolution to 1600x1200! So, I do, and Wow-wee, I shoulda done that a loooooooong time ago! Now I can see entire websites at once, run huge wallpapers at native resolution, and work with graphics files at 100%, and still have room for tool palettes.

Sweet. Now all I need is a 256mb graphics card so I can crank FS up like this!

lol, you didn't know this?

At least newer versions of windows allow you to reset the resolution without restarting windows....

I remember spending hours trying to find the right one with windows 3.X lots of fun...

Well I knew you could change it but I didn't know it went THAT high! Of course now I've gotta tweak a few settings, it kinda makes my eyes hurt like I've got everything set now....
