screen resolution

Post by oi_you_nutter »

is there any way to control the screen resolution ?

reading the text on my 1680x1050 LCD display is difficult

You would have to change the default desktop resolution of your display. If you can live with the fuzziness, that running an LCD in non-native resolution results in, you can go to whatever level you want, with a minimum of 640x480. I would recommend trying something around 1152x864 though, so that you retain the rounds used display on the circlet of stars in the display panel. That's a 4:3 aspect ratio, so you may get some letterboxing on the sides, depending on your display drivers, since you've got a 16:10 display.

thanks, changing the desktop resolution is the trick

and 1152x864 gives the best compromise between play area and readability
