Hi,
Is there a way to determine the desktops current screen resolution?


From within pygame, I don't know of a way. If you have PIL (Python
Imaging Library) installed, and run under Windows, you can use it like
this:

# -----
import ImageGrab

desktop_size = ImageGrab.grab().size   # (width, height)
# -------

Not very portable (since it's a Windows-only solution) and not very
Pygame-ish, but it works.
