[PythonCE] Screen size?

[Stewart Midwinter]

Miles:

The python2.3.4.zip file has a python.exe that's designed for 240x320
screen, but there is another python.exe floating around that will
support 480x640. But that doesn't help you, I know.

In your case, it sounds as though you've started up an app and gotten
your root window a little too large for your screen. You can tune it
as follows: use the attached little app I prepared, screenTuner.py. 
It will display current screen resolution, current root window size,
and allow you to make changes to your window size and see the effect.

cheers, 
S
