Drive Icons After Reducing Screen Resolution

Post by p310don »

I use a TV with a fatdog computer attached to it. For readability from across the room, I prefer to use 1280 x 720 resolution. However, it defaults to 1920 x 1080. If I change the resolution to the smaller, it doesn't automatically redraw / reposition the drive icons along the bottom of the screen, nor the one I had on the far right of the screen.

How do I get it to redraw everything with the new resolution?

Thanks @jamesbond That got my drive icons back.

Any tips to get the ones that I had on the right hand far side back too?

Never mind. Using super simple logic, I resized the screen for 1080, moved the icons to where I wanted them, and then changed back to 720.
