"Can I change the way the website looks on my screen?"
Screen Resolution & Colours
Different computers have different
screen setups. Your computer is likely to be set to
one of three resolutions - 640x480 pixels, 800x600 pixels
or 1024x768 pixels (where the numbers represent the
width and height of your screen). Pixels are the little
dots that combine to form the characters and graphics
you see on the screen. This website will look very big
on the 640x480 resolution, will sit comfortably on 800x600
(the most common resolution) and look quite condensed
on 1024x768 (the newest screen resolution).
 |
If you have a computer (running a
Windows 95 or greater operating system) whichis
only a few years old, youwill be able to change
thescreen resolution by simplychanging the Display/Settings
on the ControlPanel/Monitor of yourcomputer.The
number of coloursdisplayed on your monitor willalso
affect the quality of theimages displayed in awebsite.
The colour paletteshould read a minimum of 256colours,
but if your computercan handle it, it is preferableto
select High Colour (16bit) orTrue Colour (24bit).
For further information, please refer to your user
manual supplied with your PC or operating system. |
