To give an precise example of where automatic resolution changing would be
disastrous - if I have open one of my programming languages (say Borland
Delphi) with a project I'm working on and I run your program you will
*destroy* the resources in my program in such a way as to make me have to
completely redesign the user interface as the scaling will be all over the
place. While I can probably do this OK it would annoy me immensely and a
less experienced person using the IDE would have bigger problems. IMHO
programs should *never* dictate to the user. They should politely ask or
display a readme or message dialog asking me to fix the resolution to see
the program properly.
