Obviously, they managed to change the launch screen wotsit to display in other resolutions with letterboxing, but without a fundamental rework of MDL and/or the screens you mentioned, we'd be stuck with the same problem as we have in-game.
QUOTE I'm thinknig that if we ever try and upgrade alleg to use resolutions greater than the pre-millenium 800*600 standard it might be useful to have all resolution things changeable from one switch[/quote]
I was suggesting that some time in the future the current situation might change allowing people to use other reses, and have it switchable easily like other games.
To make thepossible future chnages to have res switchable like hat, I was suggesting all current resolution changes should be made assuming that the possible changes are going to happen, so that when they do, some of the work has already been done, and all the previous changes liek this one don't need to be changed again.
- A tiny bit more work now to save more work later.
