AmigaOS 3.1 Command Reference

SCREENMODE


Format:
SCREENMODE [FROM <filename>] [EDIT] [USE] [SAVE]

Template:
FROM, EDIT/S, USE/S, SAVE/S

Purpose:
To select a display mode.

Path:
Extras:Prefs/ScreenMode

Specification:


SCREENMODE without any arguments, or with the EDIT argument opens the
ScreenMode editor. The FROM argument lets you specify a file to open. This
must be a file that was previously saved with the Save As menu item of the
ScreenMode editor.

For example, if you have saved a special eonfiguration of the ScreenMode
editor to a file in the Presets drawer, you can use the FROM argument to
open that file. If the USE switch is also given, the editor will not be
opened, but the settings in the FROM file will be used. If the SAVE switch
is given, the editor will not open, but the settings in the FROM file will
be saved.

Example:

1> SCREENMODE Prefs/Presets/ScreenMode.Hires USE

You will be prompted to close all non-drawer windows, and the system will
reset and use the settings saved in the ScreenMode.Hires file. The editor
window will not open. When the system is rebooted, the display mode will
return to the last selection saved.
