SUGGESTION FOR NON-TECHNICAL VISITORS
The resolution is represented by two numbers representing "width" and "height" respectively, with the multilication sign "x" in the middle (for example, "1024 x 768"). There are several combinations available in various machines, but the number of available options varies from machine to machine. The two most common settings are, "1024 x 768" and "800 x 600". The larger the values, the wider and taller the screen looks like and the images, fonts, etc. appear relatively smaller (somewhat like the wide-angle view of a camera). It obviously transpires on the other hand, that smaller settings give a narrower and more "close-up like" view, and the icons, images, fonts, etc look bigger. It is good for people with poorer eyesight, but the machine looks more outdated and less elegant, and certain frames, tables, etc. designed for bigger settings might appear to be so narrow, that the contents within might be very difficult to read. Most machines of today are either factory set at "1024 x 768" or have that option in the list of settings available, so, this site has been designed based on that. However, in case your machine does not have any option above "800 x 600", you can still view the site at "800x600" somehow, but the result will not be satisfactory. Using the Full Screen view would help in that case to some extent. You can enter the Full Screen mode either from the View menu of your browser, or press the "F5" key (Function Key No.5). If you are using a multimedia multifunction keyboard, use the Toggle Key to enter the Function mode. To exit the Full Screen view, press the F5 key again ("Esc" key will not work). To check the current resolution of your screen or to alter it instantly, right click on your desktop (where there is no icon) and left click on "Refresh". Right click again and left click on "Properties". Choose the "Settings" tab. If you are not using too old version of Windows, you will find the options there. Choose the option with highest* values, and click on "Apply". A dark screen will appear for a fews seconds, and the new setting will take place. No need to re-start your machine or close your internet connection or the files you are working with. You can freely switch between resolutions any time. *Some machines might have options above 1024 x 768, but they may not be operational (even after activation, the screen might remain stuck to your previous setting), and might require some further adjustments which you may not be able to handle yourself. So, it is safer to choose 1024 x 768. |
