determine if the screen is widescreen

sorry for the late reply.

> Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();

I've been using this to detect the screen ration (4:3 or 16:9); however, the user can change their screen resolution to either use a wide screen 16:9 or "regular" 4:3 screen resolution. The getScreenSize() would not know the actual screen dimension.I was hoping there's some sort of method to detect this (regardless of the screen resolution).

The more i think about it. i don't think java would know this unless the most operating system provides this information, because this would be too hardware dependent stuff.

thanks for the link. I did not realize how many different screen ration out there.
