The FIRST thing you want to do when you start programming is OWN THE SCREEN!
It was NOT EASY figuring out that the "properties" along the left edge of the editor window needed to be chosen and manipulated, especially as some are NOT choosable before others (every time you start darkbasic).
The 3 of interest are
screen type
window resolution
fullscreen resolution
Which you want to change to
screen type
fullscreen
window resolution
1280*1024
fullscreen resolutiom
1280*1024*32
I COULD NOT figure out how to do it in the manual nor in the supplied examples. :-(((
Closest I got was using
set window size 1280,1024
set display mode 1280,1024,32
set window on
Which was NOT good enough for my GOD lust!
Also, funny how you're supposed to magically know and forever keep track of, setting screen size is 200,320,480,640,600,800,768,1024,1280 etc.
BUT, when putting pixels and characters on a screen, you always need minus one when plotting and tabbing. (lower right corner, 1279,1023) :-(
If all the "1"s are in the right place, it'll work like a charm.
