active project is displayed and a “Select” button to open the

Resolution Selector
This dialog box has an adjustable slider where the screen resolution for the online custom graphics can be set
for the project.
At the bottom of the dialog box the project resolution is displayed along
with the screen resolution of the computer S 3 is currently running on.
In some cases, the graphic development may be done on a computer
with a different resolution than the “target” machine for the project.
The minimum resolution is XGA or 1024 X 768 pixels. At XGA resolution
the task bar must be configured to “Auto Hide” otherwise buttons in
certain areas of the configuration environment will be hidden.
Note
the list of supported resolutions to the left may have grown since this
issue of the manual as PC vendors are constantly adding support for
additional screen sizes.
