Now you can just set the resolution like this: Code: set resolution video_set(sys_metrics(0),sys_metrics(1),32,1); That way the engine resolution is always the system resolution. As for the Panels. I use my normal system resolution of 1280/1024 to place them and find the right size and then a function adjustes the variables to any other system resolution. I don't know if this is the best solution but it works alright for me. Code: resx = screen_size.x; resy = screen_size.y; function adabtScrSizePanel(PANEL* tempP) { tempP.pos_x = tempP.pos_x * (resx/1280); tempP.pos_y = tempP.pos_y * (resy/1024); tempP.scale_x = tempP.scale_x * (resx / 1280); tempP.scale_y = tempP.scale_y * (resy / 1024); }
