Default True VGA IS POSSIBLE with Basic4Ppc

Hi guys...

yes its true...
Althoug not directly suported by Basic4ppc, True VGA enable devices CAN take advantage of the 600+480 screen resolution...

How?

Simple:

Copy the suplied file and rename it to the exe file...
eg:to run the basic4ppc ide in true vega mode add to the exe directory the file and rename it to Basic4ppc.exe.0409.MUI....

The same should be added to the final compiled app, of course, renaming the file to YourApp.exe.0409.MUI

PS: in order to upload the file I added the extension ".txt", so you must delete that part of the filename

The only "bugs" in this trick is that the font size used by the basic4ppc form designer is still double pixell so we must reduce it manualy...and some controls like combo box are also stuck in double pixel...the buttons look ok though....

I've found that a good replacement for "standart" 9 pixel font is 6, or even 5 pixel....

PS: EREL could you please adda "Control font size" option in the from designer that would affect all the controls added?
Or atleast,(i already serached but only found the ide font variable in an ini file...), tell us how this could be done without having to go over every control to change it.....
