[RWP] REAPER & Resolutions

[Jim Snowbarger]

I would tell you, but my resolution numbers are copyrighted.  <grin>

Did you have to reboot your computer after turning your monitor on or off to get that to occur?
I suspect that your video is learning what your monitor is capable of, and defaulting to something more commonly available when it doesn't know.
I run mine with monitor off all the time.  

I have an item on my to do list to learn if AHK type solutions really do care about resolution.   We have all believed so.  But, some experiences suggested to me that it does not.
What we call screen resolution is really screen size.  And, I currently think that, if you drop your resolution way down, what happens is that stuff in your application falls off the right side, or bottom of the screen.   

Changing resolution is painful.  Some times you can't get jaws to believe it unless you reboot, which is tedious and annoying.  But, I will bite the bullet and poke into this.
The question would be, find a known point inside an application, and learn it's screen coords, both absolute and active window relative.  Then, change resolution and measure it again.  Did the numbers change?

  Hi & Greetings from The Great Southern Land

  I discoverd something strange just yesterday, mayhap tis something I should of known but, I did not, but I do now...(oh, that could be a bit Irish)

  When my monitor is on under Display / Resolution it gives me 1680 x 1050 Recommended (Landscape)
  When my monitor is off under Display / Resolution it gives me 768 x 1024 (Portrait)

  I am also running my video via DVI.

  May I ask amongst those of you who are interested to provide the resolutions of your system with your monitor on and off, and whether you are using DVI or VGA...

  This information will not be sold or posted or used against you in any way later in any sort of a court case...*laughs*

  Thanx in advance all...

  Just in case you are curious, I am just seeking information relative to AHK...

  Kind regards
