I would like to know how one can get the Workbench to switch to a 400 line screen from a 200 line screen without having to reboot. Basically, I would like my machine to boot up with no interlace (no flicker), but for the times I'm programming, I would like to go to a screen with more lines, so I can get more text displayed in my windows. Another alternative would be to create a custom hi-res screen -- but how do I easily get CLI or edit windows to pop up on the custom screen? Thanks for any help and suggestions.

I have not done this, but I have had it reported that if you close the workbench screen (meaning there must not be any windows open on it except for drawers and disk icons), change the preferences, and reopen the workbench, it will do the trick. I remember a program to do this coming over the net several years ago. -- Darren

There are at least two programs that do this: WBLace and LaceWB. (clever names, eh?) WBLace didn't work too well for me, though LaceWB does a fine job. It handles having windows open on the WB screen, and will actually MOVE or RESIZE them if necessary (even a CLI)! I don't know if these are on Fish disks or anything, but it should be around someplace. It even works in PAL mode (when I run a program to make my Amiga run in PAL). . <<<<Infinite K>>>> -- _______________________________________________________________________________ | | | Someday, I'm going to make up a clever .sig file like everyone else has... | |_____________________________________________________________________________|
