Is there a way to set a custom screen resolution?

Post #1by Wedge » 26.01.2007, 23:48

After using Celestia for a few hours, I thought it would be useful to try and generate images which I could patch together to make a skybox. I'm nowhere near talented enough to just take images and somehow patch them altogether correctly. I realize I could just take random images, and as long as I have no stars or planets overlapping the seems, I could create a satisfactory skybox. But I was hoping to keep the realism intact, which is the reason I'm using Celestia and not google images.

I need to somehow get the images to a 256 or 512 pixel square. I've looked through all the documentation (alright, I skimmed most of it), and haven't been able to find anything. Could anybody provide a solution?

In my opinion, the best thing to do would be to take full screen screenshots within Celestia, and then resize them as you see fit with some image editor (my preference being Gimpshop.

As far as I know, there's no easy way to do it within Celestia itself.
