Changing The Display Mode - Toshiba Satellite 110 Series User Manual

Changing the Display Mode

Perhaps you would like to change how much information your
screen displays, or adjust the number of colors it uses. You can
control these options by using the screen display program. Any
changes you make using this program affect Windows 95 only
and will not change how your screen looks in DOS.
To open the program, follow these steps:
1 Click Start, then point to Settings.
2 Click Control Panel.
Windows 95 displays the Control Panel.
3 Double-click the Display icon.
Windows 95 opens the Display Properties sheet.
4 Click the Settings tab to move to the Settings page.
5 Change the number of colors the display can show by
changing the Color palette setting.
Setting the palette to High Color (16-bit) provides 64k colors.
True Color (24-bit) provides 16 million colors. Some color
modes and resolutions are available only on an external mon-
itor. See "Video Modes" on page 357 for the modes available
on the internal display.
6 Change the screen resolution by clicking and dragging the
Desktop area slider.
7 When you've made all your changes, click OK. To close
the Display Properties sheet without enabling your
changes, click Cancel.
