how to use the scale geometry property of an object?

[J. Landman Gay]

If you use fullscreenmode they will scale automatically, you don't have to 
do anything. Everything on the card will resize itself proportionally, 
which is why it's so easy.

The down side is that buttons and other controls will also scale, so they 
may not be exactly the same size as standard OS conventions, but I live 
with that. If you are using a custom skin it doesn't matter much.
