I just came up with this while reading the "soulhunter" thread in the WIP section. I thought that the screenies had really freaky dimensions, so I thought it would be cool if the user could select their own dimensions.

You can get the list of available display modes (PERFORM CHECKLIST FOR DISPLAY MODES), and then cycle through them (CHECKLIST QUANTITY, CHECKLIST VALUE A etc) to present them to the user. This way, the user can only change the mode to a valid option.
