What screen resolution does your Cumulus PC use?

Post by steve »

I would be grateful if everyone could please indicate the display resolution that they use on the PC running Cumulus. If your response is 'other', please post a comment giving your actual resolution. If you are running Cumulus on more than one PC at different resolutions please 'vote' with your smallest resolution.

I use 1280 x 960, but the only things I run full screen are the odd media files.

There's always one :roll:

I seem to remember you mentioning this before. What effect does it have? The Cumulus window is the same size but the text is 25% bigger?

You're using Windows 7 so Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display - makes everything 25% larger. It's nice to know I'm unique :lol:

Yes, I just realised that myself - I'm even using the same resolution. It seemed to make it slightly less than 25% bigger, though.

The latest Widescreen monitors are 1920 x 1080
Should really be using the full resolution of your LCD monitor.
If you used a reduced setting then columns and rows are dropped out to match the lower res. This causes blurriness around edges.
If you find the text and icons too small then just readjust in the windows desktop settings.
