Duckie Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 I want to be able to use this with either a Registry file or a system command thru the control panel, but i dont know the shortcuts. I have already made the Open Displays... dialog work. Duckie PS: A little FYI: This is an ObjectBar theme i am finishing up for distro...it has ALL the icons and menus, and almost completely duplicates the Mac OS X appearance. Once i have the info i need, I will realease it at my site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckie Posted February 21, 2002 Author Share Posted February 21, 2002 C'mon... With all the people in here who res-hack and reg-edit their machines to death, no one has replied? Some one has to know...I used to have a source for it, but the link I had was from a xoom.com addy, and any NON-NOOB would know about those pages...

pulp Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 http://www.skst.com/perpetualmotion/download.htm you can find a console mode utility to change resolutions there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckie Posted February 21, 2002 Author Share Posted February 21, 2002 Thank you, pulp...this looks like it might be it...just needs a lil tweakin'... Anyone else know another one that is similar? Duckie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHe_cL3anER Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Hi there, made my own one cos XP is damn annoying in the way it doesn't change resolutions. Simply put this program in your StartUp folder (on the start menu) with the following command line: ChangeRes.exe 1024x768 The above command would change the resolution to 1024x 768, then exit. ChangeRes.exe 1280x1024 This command would change the resolution to 1280x1024. If you type an invalid resolution, or one that your monitor cannot handle, the program will display an error message, and exit. Get it here: Download ChangeRes If you don't trust me, and would like to compile the program for yourself, click below for the source code VB Source code Enjoy! tHe_cLeanER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckie Posted February 21, 2002 Author Share Posted February 21, 2002 That did the trick, thank you...works great. Mind if I post it on my Hotline server? If you don't, then please post what you would like me to put in the 'read me' Duckie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPfreakus Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 tHe_cL3anER, what about refresh frequency ?? :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHe_cL3anER Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Duckie: Yeh, thats fine, please do so :) , but could you link to it, rather than hosting it? (that way, if someone finds any bugs, I can update it, without having to send you the latest version). And feel free to include the source code so people can recompile it etc to suit their needs XPFreakus: regarding refresh freq. I tested it, but was unable to get it working :( You can get the test version Here (doesn't seem to change refresh - everything else works) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPfreakus Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 On my comp, when I change res to 800*600 screen refresh goes to 60 Hz. When I change resolution back, screen refresh remains at 60 Hz :( (not 85!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
