Mobility Site - View Single Post - Great little utility

Hello All:

I wanted to bring this little utility to the attention of the community. It has been mentioned in LocutusBorgMan's excellent Freeware thread, but, I enjoy this utility so much, I decided it deserved it's own thread! :approve:

I own an x51v. I had experimented with the various ways of changing resolution.. the "True VGA" hack.. OzVGA, etc etc.. however, I always found they were a bit more trouble than they were worth. Oftentimes my WA themes would require re-formatting, Some of the menus were messed up, and on and on. However, some things looked WONDERFUL when in VGA mode. Adobe, GS Finder, and many others benefited from the extra resolution. So, I was torn. I'd spend a few days in VGA mode and eventually get too frustrated and just go back. But, that wasn't satisfying because I knew I was missing out on some functionality.

Enter this great little app.

It is a control panel applet that allows you to pick and choose which executable files you want to run in VGA mode. You simply provide the applet with the location of the file and it does the rest. Afterward, every time you launch that app, your screen will toggle over to VGA for that app. It works great on my x51v. I use it for Adobe and GS Finder. :love:

EDIT:

I don't have access to any sort of web host, so, I've posted the file on MegaUpload. Here is the link to the WM5.0 version:

For WM2003 users, I think this is the file you want, but I have no way of verifying it. If some brave WM2003 user could test this file, I would be appreciative:

Simply copy the .cpl file into /windows. You may have to soft reset. You will then find a new application in settings/system called ForceHiRes. In order for mine to work, I had to check the box for 'hi-resolutionized below'.

Enjoy!
