_SCREENMOVE _MIDDLE and resolutions
#1
Howdy. I want a program to run at 1600x900 on desktops and 1280x720 or 1280x800 on laptops. That seems straightforward enough, but this sub - at the big resolution so far - doesn't actually center the program window on the desktop. Why is _SCREENMOVE _MIDDLE opening this window far to the right and off-screen? Also any suggestions for improving this resolution changing sub will be gladly and humbly accepted. Thanks! Ted

    IF SWIDTH = 1600 THEN _SCREENMOVE _MIDDLE '        I put this here after the SCREEN statement, but it still doesn't center the program window

    CenterX = SWIDTH / 2 '                define screen center points
    CenterY = SHEIGHT / 2 '
