Python screen resolution

4 New Member
Every time I enter Python it resets the monitor resolution to 640 x 480. I am not setting the monitor resolution anywhere. I am currently running Python 2.5 on a Windows XP computer. Any info will help.

Moving to the Python forum where it should receive better attention.

That's quite unusual behavior. I'm guessing that it has something to do with your command-line shell window. What happens when you go :Start->Run [cmd.exe]?

It's not your python installation, as I suggested earlier. It's your command-line (DOS) shell that's causing this (I'm 99% sure). So I need to know what happens when you go to the Start menu and pull down to Run and type cmd.exe.

Hello all: To deal with the problem of differing user screen resolutions, I've explored: 1) making the pages in PHP, 2) having different pages on the same page and selecting the proper one via JavaScript, and 3) using fancy redirects and forced "back skip" redirects with cookies. Every approach has some fatal flaw as far as I have been able to persue it. My most recent idea is to make multiple style sheets (selectable via javascript...

Hi I'm developing a webpage that needs to include a different stylesheet depending on the screen resolution. I know that I could read the resolution in javascript and then do some sort of stylesheet switcher as part of the onload event but I would rather link in the correct stylesheet for the resolution in the first place.

I googled and searched in archive. All I can find is finding resolution with Tkinter and pygame. Any idea to find monitor resolution with standard python module? I can check from output of: xprop -root _NET_DESKTOP_GEOMETRY(CARDINAL) . The problem is when you use Beryl or Xgl, it is not correct anymore because Beryl or Xgl set this value from amount of workspaces multiplied by monitor or screen resolution.

A lot of users at my workplace use different screen resolutions, and I build apps to use 1680 x 1050 pixels res by default. But some users are using 800 x 600, and the apps are too large for their screen. I used to write code in Java a few years ago (2005), and you could stretch a form with the mouse and all the controls and fonts would resize to larger or smaller size. Does .Net framework 3.5 support this kind of functionality? Or -...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
