DoctorVell Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hi there, I recently downloaded NeoDesk 4 and Geneva from the website and I absolutely love them. I am now just inquring about how to edit the configurations with it. Here is what I want to do... 1) Autobook NeoDesk right away after loading Geneva 2) Auto set resolution to 256 colors instead of 2 colors I am running hAtari and I am emulating a Falcon computer (which I love doing it) and it keeps on just loading up the Geneva and then it stops and then I have to click the Open and then run NeoDesk. Even if I do a save desktop to the 256 colors, it still boots it up to the 2 color screen. I change the settings to 256 colors and then it loads up Geneva and then I can load up NeoDesk with the 256 colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodak80 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I had the same issue. From further installing, I found that installing Neodesk first and then installing Geneva worked. Geneva installation asks for the location of Neodesk and sets it to start automatically after Geneva has loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the exact order I did it in, but some reason it doesn't load up NeoDesk right after Geneva loads up first time nor the time after I do the changes to my desktop within NeoDesk.

Geneva/Neodesk always seems to start in Medium resolution whereas I would like it to start in Low Resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorVell Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 I am now marking this as SOLVED as I figured it out with help from all these posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 So was it one of the final suggestions, or was there something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
