It depends on the window manager. With X, (when (eq window-system 'x) you'd use: x-display-pixel-width x-display-pixel-height ) -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ Until real software engineering is developed, the next best practice is to develop with a dynamic system that has extreme late binding in all aspects. The first system to really do this in an important way is Lisp. -- Alan Kay _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
