Hi everybody.
I have a question regarding the resolution...

I need 1024x768 and i do already know how to get Dark GDK to resize the window:

+ Code Snippet

dbSetWindowSize(1024,768);
dbSetDisplayMode(1024,768,32);

looks good and seems to work as supposed...

but it is really annoying that when i start the game it will open a window in 640x480 which will resize after a few seconds.
in addition it isn't centered or anything afterwards. it just resizes out of the display.

isn't there any way to "do this right"?

thanks for reading (and replying?

)

I've tried to figure out the same thing. As far as I know, the only way to do so is to take the screen resolution and position the window at (( desktopW / 2 ) - ( screenW / 2 ), (( desktopH / 2 ) - ( screenH / 2 )). Of course, you'll have to find a way to obtain the desktop resolution.

Try this

+ Code Snippet

	dbSetWindowOff ( ); // full screen mode selected
	dbSetDisplayMode ( 1024, 768, 32 );

thanks for your answers!

do you know any way to have a window with for example 800x600 without having the 640x480 at first?

i'd like to have the first window already at the needed size.
it just looks ugly to switch afterwards
