Depending on your system version, you might have better results if you
change this part to use the construct submitted by Kai a couple of days ago:
tell (do shell script "/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType | grep
Resolution") to set {wd, ht} to {word 2 as number, word 4 as number}
set screenz to result
set desktopWidth to (item 1 of screenz)
set desktopHeight to (item 2 of screenz)
Result is the same, but my method seems significantly faster.
But you can actually say one line:
tell (do shell script "/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType |
grep Resolution") to {word 2 as number, word 4 as number}
--> {1200, 1920}
Interesting technique, thanks. I just don't know why they call it
"Resolution" when it is actually "Screen Size". Seems like Resolution
should return 100ppi, or some such thing.
