hi im having a problem getting my standalone to work properly in v1.12, i want to have it full screen but it seems no matter what i do it stays small can some one tell me what im doing wrong and if im not doing any thing wrong is there a way around this problem..

here is the top half of my xml file the has all the config settings for screens, the rest of it is just programs ive added and ill leave those out because i dont believe youll need that ... but any ways pls take a look at it and let me know what you think

Hi Lost Sole

I got your PM and have replied.

I dont think there is anything wrong with the code :D
What it probably is is the sizes of your pictures. XPlode does not stretch the pictures so you have to optimise your pictures. If i remember correctly mine is using 480*640. I have done this because i install on multiple computers and the graphic card is not always found.

I have made the
head.png 639x33
main.png 639x425
foot.png 639x25

these may be odd sizes but it works.

If its still not solved, try with v1.00 - then you'd know if its a version-regression, or a user-error.
