About project settings

Project settings determine the general appearance of your run-time application, such as
the size and position of the project window and whether a title bar appears in the project
window. You can also change the setting for running Compact Machine Edition
applications, and enable automatic logout of the current user.

Since project settings affect how your graphic displays look, specify the settings before
creating graphic displays.

must be less than or equal to the run-time screen resolution.

Usually, an application is designed to completely fill the run-time terminal or computer
screen. If you want your application to do this, set the project window size to the
