<pre wrap="">Hi Eliot,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that doesn't help. I'm working on a clock morph that
allows the face of the clock to be a picture and optionally contain/display a calendar morph
with it. For my current needs it will be displayed full screen. I can get it to look good
under those circumstances. When I'm finished, I would like to make both morphs available to
other Squeakers. Therefor, I want it to look good in less than full screen mode. Building
things for full screen size and shrinking them down, looks best. So, I would like to know the
full screen size, build (run time construction of face, hands, calendar and such) the morphs
and then shrink them to the required size. Without being able to do this there isn't much
reason to share the work as it will look bad to often.
I will keep trying. Maybe for now I will just put up with the flash of the screen to get its
size.

<pre wrap="">Hi Fabio,
Thanks for the reply. You would think so but it gives the current World
windows size and not
the monitor screen size.
If I change to full screen mode, I can then get the screen size and change
back to non-full
screen mode but the screen blinks to full screen and back and I don't want
that.

There is an implementation in the Terf VM:
primitiveHostWindowScreenWorkAreaSize: windex
<option: #TerfVM>
"Answer the platform's notion of the available work area on the screen
containing the given window."
| size |
self primitive: 'primitiveHostWindowScreenWorkAreaSize'
parameters: #(SmallInteger).
size := self ioSizeOfScreenWorkArea: windex.
size = -1 ifTrue:
[^interpreterProxy primitiveFail].
^self pointFromCompactPointEncoding: size
But this would require you build your own HostWindowPlugin and set the
TerfVM option while building it. This isn't much of an answer but I hope
that some time this year this code will be more generally available. Sorry
:-(

<pre wrap="">Hi Lou,
Isn't primitive 106 (screen size) what you are looking for?
Best,

Is there a way to determine the screen size without first going to full
