Customizing the "resolution selection" dialogue

I would like to customize the resolution selection dialoge window that appears when a stand-alone executable is started.
Things i want to customize:

  • change the text of the qualities (fastest, simple, beautifull etc)
  • change the position of the buttons.

is it possible to customize this dialogue window?

No, thats not possible

But you can disable it through the player settings and make an ingame options menu to do that.

Yes it is possible, for the Mac version anyway. This is easy; just mess with it in Interface Builder. No such luck on Windows though.

The positioning is possible yes.
But the quality level names are unchangeable there too, aren’t they?

Everything in Interface Builder is just XML. You can change whatever you want.

I see :slight_smile: So the stuff posted in 2.1 days about it were only partially correct then.

I’ve never tried it on osx as I either do web or windows standalone builds normally. Reminds me that I wanted to test something on the windows standalone in relation to this, as I’m pretty sure that it can be done on windows too. Windows might store the data differently than a single massive folder, yet the data is still there normally.

I’m working on Windows, so i guess i’m out of luck.
Is the interface file a plain xml file that i could change with a text-editor, or does it require a special “interface builder” (which is -as i understand- only available on Mac)?

Thanks all for the quick response.

Its the default xcode interface editor (similar to the forms editor in Visual Studio / borland dev tools).

The counterpart on windows would be resource files.
I’ve not done that yet (as mentioned above) but I’m pretty sure you could actually “hack modify” it on windows too by using ResourceHacker and extract the resource file, modifying it and then replace the one in the exe again.

Resource files on windows are similar to the xib + icon + plist files that are present “plain” in osx app folders

Probably the easiest/simplest thing to do on Windows is to search with a hex editor and change the Fantastic/Beautiful/etc. strings to something else, but naturally the number of characters has to be the same.
