Hi ALL! There's my fault or wasnt possible to pass variables to @DISPLAY precommand?

If I need to choose for a prefs file the dispaly size and then pass it to @DISPLAY command I cant...maybe I do something wrong..

I cant use ChangeDisplaySize() because If I will open the display in full screen I got a display size of the @DISPLAY passed parameters and they cant grow up...

Maybe I miss somethig...

Excusme if I cant explain it correctly...

You can't use variables for preprocessor commands like @DISPLAY because they are handled before anything else so all variables would be zero anyway. Currently, it's not possible to dynamically set a screen width/height. But it will be possible with Hollywood 4.5, because it has the new ChangeDisplayMode() command which can switch the display mode, e.g.
