Transparent

[alex16]

Hi, Guys,

Just thought id throw this out there,

I am creating a script to change the resolution of my screen from 1280 by 1024 to 1024 by 768, what i was wondering was, is there another way to change the resolution without showing all of the boxes or is it possible to make the running of the script transparent so as its not seen when run,

Here is the script below,

BlockInput(1)

run("control desktop")

WinWaitActive("Personalization")

MouseClick("left",316,507)

WinWaitActive("Display Settings")

MouseClick("left",83,349)

MouseClick("left",419,454)

WinWaitActive("Display Settings","Yes")

MouseClick("left",242,113)

MouseClick("left",262,449)

Just something simple,

I know that it works on windows vista home premium not sure about other variants,

Cheers,

Alex

Here's a script that I did some two years ago, still working ...
