Created attachment 326 [details]
code snippet

Under windows, specifying full screen does not the actual screen resolution, this is the result of the code not being implemented. I wrote the snippet in the attachment that should be able to fix it.

Additionally with this fix I would like to see reflected that:
The actual resolution change get's implemented when the actual sdl window is shown. Reason: some games/application use an splashscreen to indicate the sdl window is initialing.

Yep, fullscreen modes are not yet implemented.  They're the next big thing on the TODO list.

Thanks!

This should be fixed in the current snapshot:
