[QUOTE="dir, post: 194933, member: 24485"] When I start up MP on my desktop PC, it always starts in 4:3 ratio. Since I'm using a widescreen skin, all the images and icons are squished. I resize the window manually to make it look more widescreen, but there's no way to save it so that it always launches in this size. I can use the screen calibration thing but that just gives me numeric feedback on how big the window is. All I want to be able to do is set MP so that it always launches in the correct window size. I don't want to go fullscreen on my PC as I'm just doing testing, and I'm running a 24" monitor and would like to do other things while I'm using MP. Is there some command line options I can use? Tried searching the forum and FAQ and read the manual but no luck. If it's in the forums I'd love to know a search string that would find it - I drowned in results when I tried any of the following: screen size calibration startup command line gui size etc. etc. I'm new to MP but struggling sometimes with it - it has design elements that I find almost foreign, as if the designers are from a unix background or something. Not bad, just not intuitive to a long-time Windows user. An example is a configuration pop-up that doesn't have an "Accept/Cancel" or "OK" button, and only the normal "X" to close the window, which apparently saves the changes you make - this is the opposite behaviour to standard windows, where "X" will cancel your changes unless you click Save/Apply/Accept/OK first. Just mentioning this stuff cuz little differences like this alienate the "great unwashed" moms and dads out there that may want to use MP some day. If the experience requires too much insider knowledge, the app will remain in the domain of the technical elite... Anyway, point me in the right direction and I shall endevour to edify myself!
