Now that I've written some REALbasic programs that work, I'm after some
advice on how to make them look more attractive.
Just one question at this point: Are there some tips to keep in mind in
order to make the looks of an application fairly independent of the
"screen resolution" setting?
Screen resolutions vary tremendously. Here are some of the possibles:
640 x 480
720 x 480
720 x 576
800 x 600
1024 x 768
1152 x 854
1280 x 1024
1600 x 1200
I haven't done much experimentation yet in this area (the screen
resolution is a pain to change on my system), but I would guess that the
size of a normal REALbasic window would also vary tremendously (unless,
of course, your program is forcing the window to display maximized).
In addition, there's the matter of the size and placement of the
controls within the window. Do they vary as well, related to the screen
resolution? Does an EditField, for example, that had 16 lines in one
screen resolution suddenly have 32 in another?
Any advice in this area will be gratefully received.
