Title: Screenset with resolution 1280 x 1024 is not working?
Post by: giordano on July 18, 2009, 12:26:42 PM

Hello to all. Now in most cases, are used lcd monitor at least 19 "that supports a resolution of 1280 X 1024. I would like to implement an interface with this resolution using Screen4. But setting this resolution, I noticed some problems. By setting a background image is not can be moved or changed. I led and the buttons can not be moved or sometimes disappear from. Am I wrong or Screen4 that does not support this resolution? Thanks in advance. Cantori Giordano

Screen4 does not support insertion of a background image larger than what fits inside the borders of Screen4 on the actual computer where Screen4 is used. That is Screen4 does not support scrolling of the background image or anything placed on it.

In order to design a screen set with a resolution of 1280x1024 you ned to do the actual design work on a larger screen like 1600x1200.

What I do is create my background image at 1280 x 1024, but in Screen4, I create the Screenset at 1024 x 768. Then let mach3 enlarge it to fit the screen. This makes it much easier to use Screen4, and I don't notice any loss of quality on my buttons or LED's. I have noticed that text on my background sometimes is not clear enough. In those instances, I create a separate image of the text, and assign it to an unused LED over the top of it.
