Understood, I get by on used VGA monitors, too...
I never understand this- why not kick it up to
1027x768 and use the
Windows Appearance controls to make the menus and screen
fonts larger?
My vga monitors have a tendency to die, thus a old VGA is easy to come
by and not have to FUCK with windows 'SAFE' mode. That way
graphics look nice and text is still readable and things
you have to click on (buttons can be made bigger too) are bigger
targets...
I want smaller menus and buttons. I like a window filled with what ever
I am reading, not clutter on the screen. It makes no sense to me to switch
to a higher res and then defeat it by having bigger fonts. When I was Linux I ran at 800x600 but only so I could run bigger
fonts to give
me a 80x25 xterm window. Also most on the games I play only run at 640x480
due to
speed ( P-150 here) or screen limitations.
I mistakenly ASSumed you went with 640x480 because everything is
bigger and easier to see... the guys around here who run 1024x768
instead of the 1280x1024 they *could* run do it for that reason...
