[Wine] Can the WINE window be larger on high resolution settings?
I was reading this post http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=45535&sid=6957add8af3402a8afa68d8527121e2d and others like it looking for a way to make the content in the WINE window look larger. I mean to look like 800x600 resolution when the monitor settings is at 1024x768. So, I have typed this on the command line: Code: wine explorer /desktop=spider,800x600 spider.exe or wine explorer /desktop=spider,640x480 spider.exe but I see no change compare to the command line looking like this: Code: wine spider.exe I am expecting the cards to look larger. Can this be possible? And yes, I do have an Ubuntu native solitaire game by/named KPatience, I think... I am running on Ubuntu 10.10 WINE 1.2.1 and I am currently learning my way around this system setup or Linux distro.

Sorry no wine has nothing to do with screen size magnification. That is outside wine control.

Wine cannot 'resize' windows to 'expand' them and nor can Windows. You have to use a magnification program to do that. I don't know if Wine will support this. James McKenzie

remember that the program your running can change your virtual desktop size... say you start with a virtual desktop of 1024x768... well the program will see that as your fullscreen, and if the program is set to run 800x600, it will then resize that 1024x768 window down to 800x600... Adding a feature to be able to run things in a window in some type of a zoom fashion would be great, but is not currently a feature in Wine.
