You can find out Squeak's current window size with
   Display extent

I don't know if you can query the OS for current resolution and stuff like
that. But if not, you could always momentarily go fullscreen and check the
window size.

Usually you would try to use layouts and resizing to avoid dealing with
detecting these things directly. I'm not sure how to do it if your morph is
at the top level. Maybe you can override  #ownerChanged to match your morph
to the world size.
