FPC v3.2.0: how to set IDE to be displayed full screen on 27" monitor?
« on: May 08, 2021, 05:40:49 pm »
I've got following situation:

1. I'm currently using FPC v3.0.4 on an older laptop and have applied: Options | Environment | Preferences | Video mode: 237x63 color => the IDE fits 100 % to 27" monitor

2. Today I downloaded FPC v3.2.0 on a new laptop and could only select the maximum resolution offered by the IDE: Options | Environment | Preferences | Video mode: 120x71 color => landscaped IDE-view is more narrow than 27" screen width, and longer than 27" screen length.

I guess some settings are wrong (maybe even in Display Settings of laptop). I looked for a solution in some Forum branches, but couldn't find a solution.

Why is the IDE offering a smaller resolution on the new laptop compared to the old one, and how to solve?

Afaik older IDEs allowed the IDE to resize the console. Newer versions simply fit to the console.

If I take a cmd.exe and resize it to the max size ( I have a portrait 27" fullHD) and start the 3.2.0 IDE, the IDE fills the whole screen.

Hello marcov,

Your solution works for me too - was finally able to verify it.
