Default Display Problems

When are you going to fix the display problems in resolutions higher than 1024x768?
I have a large monitor and use 1280x1024 and I find it rather annoying to have to keep changing my display settings when I want to play the game

I run at 1600x1200 myself so I'd like to see better high-res support also.

But you don't need to lower your resolution - I play the game at 1600x1200 and it works OK. The main window is smaller than I'd like (black border around it), but some of the other windows, like the planet, fleet, colony and construction lists stretch top to bottom on the screen, showing more planets, etc than you'd see at 1024 res.

At 1280, things would be a little smaller than the 1024 mode, but the lists would be a little bigger - I'd recommend giving it a try.

I'm not sure but can't you in WIn 95 and higher set up multiconfigs so thqt when you play the game it will load up under the lower res?

I know that you can do that with DOS stuff, but I dont know with windows games
more support would be nice but not everyone has the big res
Interesting programming tidbit:
DirectX can force a resolution (any resolution, 400x400, 500x500, etc). If there isnt a premade driver for that res, DX makes it
