Is there a way to have the graphics mode automatically set itself to the mode that the user already has set for his/her computer? Some system file somewhere? I know that I could have them choose the first time, save it in a file, and then automatically use that each time unless they choose otherwise, but I was just wondering...

I'm a little confused as to what that does...

It finds the width/height of the users desktop, then creates a windowed window of that size, then uses some api commands to get rid of the blue bar. End result is something that looks like fullscreen, but is windowed in the exact dimensions of the users desktop.

If you wanted to use real fullscreen mode, you could just take the width/height from the api calls.
