QPC2 Increase QL window size

[gregtaylor]

Hi, have tied the various options for increasing the size of QPC2 but each time it just increases the size of the "black" window but the QL 3 screens ae just as small (especially on a 1920x1080 monitor). Am I asking the impossible?

Try setting the resolution to 640x480, and the window to 1280x960 (2x). This will give you reasonably sized characters (if don't mind very small characters, you can try 1280x1024 with 1x magnification).
You have to re-size the windows to fit into the larger screen. This may help:

Code: Select all

WINDOW#0;SCR_XLIM,52,0,SCR_YLIM-52: BORDER#0;1,255
WINDOW#2;SCR_XLIM/2,SCR_YLIM-52,0,0: BORDER#2;1,255
WINDOW SCR_XLIM/2,SCR_YLIM-52,SCR_XLIM/2,0: BORDER 1,255
FOR i=0 to 2:CLS#i

This will fill the entire screen and leave 5 lines for the bottom window.

HI,

You need to alter the Window size in the QPC2 startup screen:

Hold SHIFT when load QPC2 executable if this screen does not appear.

Set the physical window size in the WINDOW section, and the QL resolution in the RESOLUTION section

Worth reading Marcel's QPC2 manual for more information, and Martin Head's QPC2 manual

Thanks both, worked a treat. The actual values seem to behave oddly. 640x480 gives a much larger "QL" display, 800x600 much smaller. Never mind, 640x480 is perfect size!
