How to change the screen size to 800x600

[Henry]

hi there, just want to ask can we change the screen resolution to 800x600, because i was create a solution with kiosk mode in full screen, but after i run in computer with screen 1024 x 768, all the screen will move to top left site of the screen, so i need a script to change the size to 800 x 600 and after close the program, it will change the size to original size. Or maybe got another way to solve this problem ?

This post might help you solve this problem. Once you have set this up, you can have a script that executes on startup that goes something like this:

If[status(CurrentScreenWidth)= 1024

Set Zoom Level [150%]

else

Set Zoom Level [100%]

Sorry that's abbreviated, but you get the idea.

It sounds like you want to change the screen's resolution. That's controlled by the Operating System, so you'll need to use an OS-controlling solution like AppleScript or WinBatch.

Be aware that LCD flat panel screens are really only single-resolution by their nature. Forcing one of these into 800x600 might not be possible, ot at the very least it'll look terrible as the display smudges the pixels around to cover the non-integral resolution.

In FMP layouts are fixed size: if you want to support multiple screen resolutions then you need to build multiple sets of layouts, one for each resolution. Not a trivial task. Zooming layouts is not an entirely satisfactory substitute for multiple layouts.
