Hi Lin,
You should be able to make the script adapt pretty well to lower screen resolutions by:
(1) Defining all sizes and positions in percentages. Notably, that should include any font sizes as defined in the various /fontstyle attributes throughout the script. I.e., define something like
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2%)
instead of
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 24pt)
etc.
(2) You can further use the /canvassize and /canvasaspectratio attributes in the <defautls> element to force the screen area Inquisit uses to be identical across systems. For example,
<defautls>
/ canvasaspectratio = (4,3)
/ canvassize = (100%, 100%)
...
</defaults>
will restrict the area to a 4:3 ratio, so that objects are positioned similarly, regardless of whether a given device has a regular 4:3 display or a some type "wide-screen" display (16:9 aspect ratio and others) attached.
(3) Finally, it is advisable to _test_ your experiment across a variety of screen resolutions you might encounter, to ensure that you've set up all elements such that they adapt well (#1 and #2 aboive). For example, to view for yourself how the script will approximately look on a display with 1280 x 800 pixel resolution, set the /windowsize attribute to
<defaults>
...
/ windowsize = (1280px, 800px)
...
</defaults>
and run the script on your computer. It will display in a 1280 by 800 pixel window, thus allowing you to simulate a smaller screen. You can do the same for other resolutions by changing the /windowsize dimensions accordingly.
Hope this helps.
