Torque supports any resolution your graphics accelerator supports. Now, whether or not your monitor is fond of them is another matter entirely.

Just to add a bit to what Kirby said, you can even configure non-standard TGE screen resolutions by changing the prefs.

If you're getting black bars around the sides your monitor needs adjusted, or it just doesn't play nice with those resolutions.

Has anyone experimented with having a user-resizable window ?
ie, just click-n-drag to change the size like say a browser window.

Show tool pro does that, which is built using Torque, so I'd say... yes. =)

@Orion

TSE allows arbitrary edge-grab resizing of the application window. It's I haven't looked at it to see what makes that possible, but it's pretty cool. It does have a tendency to limit accessible parts of the window, though. Not sure why.

Going along with this thread, where are the config files that change the default resolution?

Client/default.cs is the initial "default",
but after the first time the app is run, the size comes from client/prefs.cs

What are the values that you need to change? I changed $pref::Video::windowedRes to equal "1280 1024" but it still comes up with the default. I've ran the program before, but I'm not seeing a client/prefs.cs either.

Thanks
