So I am going to buy a new soffa so I can sit in it with my cordless keyboard and mouse...

but I have 1280x1024 resolution now and I am setting up a quick key on my keyboard to change the resolution and appearence...

So basicly it opens big.bat which will open the appearance file and load it..

But I need to change the resolution (command line based) as well... The old rundll command (rundll deskcp16.dll,QUICKRES_RUNDLLENTRY 800x600x32) doesn't work under WDM operating systems (2k,xp,2k3)..

Is there a new command using rundll32 that can change the screen resolution? Or is there a application/utility that can change it?

Another thing will I am asking... I have a webpage as a background which is placed in the bottom right hand corner. When changing to 800x600 it is still there but when changing back it will be placed in the middle. Is the a way to disable active desktop or a certain webpage? So first before changing the resolution it removes the desktop wallpapper?

When loading the appearance it opens the display propertys and selects the right appearance but the user has to press enter or click ok for it to take effect.. Is the a way to do it so it automaticly applys it?

      I wish Apple would stop enforcing driving restrictions. Sometimes passengers just want to do things on the screen. It's not always the driver.
    • Samsung Galaxy Watch8 series to adopt the squircle design across all models

      Samsung Galaxy Watch8 series to adopt the squircle design across all models by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar Next month, Samsung is set to launch a bunch of new products. Aside from its usual premium foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold7 and the Galaxy Z Flip7, the company is also expected to introduce an affordable version, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. The new watch lineup, the Galaxy Watch8 series, will also be introduced, and now we have our first glimpse at what you could expect this year. The Galaxy Watch8 series will include the standard Galaxy Watch 8, the Galaxy Watch8 Classic, and the new variant of the Galaxy Watch Ultra. However, unlike last year, it appears Samsung is adopting the squircle design across all models. This means that Samsung could potentially ditch the circular design of the Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic for Ultra's squircle design. Folks at Android Headlines have shared a new render that gives us a closer look at the design and colors of the upcoming Galaxy Watch8 series. In addition to the squircle design across variants, the Galaxy Watch8 Classic is shown with its signature physical bezel. Image by Android Headlines The leak also highlights the Quick button, which will be present on the Galaxy Watch8 alongside the Galaxy Watch Ultra. If true, users will be able to assign any app to this customizable button and access it with a single tap. The standard model misses out on both the physical bezel and the Quick button. Also, the Galaxy Watch Ultra may get a new blue color option. Last year's Ultra watch is available in orange, dark gray, green, and white. This also highlights one thing that blue could be Samsung's signature color for the upcoming range of products, as the Galaxy Z Fold7 has also been teased a couple of times in blue. Samsung is expected to hold the Unpacked event sometime around mid-July. The company is rumored to have chosen New York as the venue for the second Unpacked event.

      apparently they are prioritizing the ones with screens so they can show more ads "We will prioritize Echo Show 8, 10, 15, and 21 device owners in the early access period. "
