Running applications with custom display settings

1st QuickRes integrates with shell and allows you to specify custom display settings for any application or document. If Show in property sheet option is turned on in Options dialog, then special 1st QuickRes property page is added to the Properties dialog of any application or document.

Applying custom display settings to application using this property page, creates new shortcut. Launching this shortcut, opens the application in the specified display mode, waits until it finishes and restores previous video mode.

• To add custom display settings to any application or document:
  1. Right-click application or document and click Properties menu item.
  2. Properties dialog will be shown, 1st QuickRes page should be visible. Select it using mouse or keyboard.
  3. Press Open with custom display settings button. Other controls should be available now.
  4. Select desired desktop size (screen resolution), color depth and refresh rate. This is done in the same way as defining favorite mode. And you can select any predefined favorite mode from the list.
  5. Uncheck Restore display settings on exit if you don't want the display mode to be restored after finishing the application.
  6. Press OK or Apply button to create new link. New link has a name containing original application name and selected display mode.
• To edit a custom display settings link, open the Properties dialog and edit the settings at the 1st QuickRes page.
