Display - is it possible to do this resize?
I'm setting up a W10 computer for a friend. It's an HP all-in-one which has the motherboard, hard drive etc, inside the 23" screen. The res is 1920 x 1080, or 16:9.
I'd like to configure her display to look like my 24" 1920 x 1200 (16:10), but I can't see how.
I don't much like wide screen monitors, even with a 16:10 format, so I have my Taskbar positioned at the right of the screen. It's loaded with 4 columns of shortcut icons so it's about 40mm wide. This results in the remainder of the screen being compressed to the left, so that it's even squarer than on a normal 16:10. In other words, the desktop display abuts the Taskbar.
I've tried doing this on the HP 23" but instead of the display abutting the Taskbar, it's visible behind it. In other words, it's not affected by the width of the Taskbar.
There must be something obvious I'm missing on the W10 computer that would enable the result I want but I don't know enough about the OS at this stage. All I can think of is that the Taskbar is still set at the default Aero-type semi transparency, whereas I've disabled transparency on my own display and set it to Windows Classic.
Anyone able to offer an insight?
Thanks for reading :)
