I had the most current version of Jon's CommandsX, 3.0d3, and it didn't
have the "set screens to" command in its dictionary. On the off chance
that Jon had changed it without changing the version number I just
downloaded and installed it again. It *still* doesn't have that
command in its dictionary. The command is documented in the
JonsCommandsDocs.html file that came with the osax, but that file
hasn't changed since Jon's Commands 2.1.2.
If you've used the "set screens to" command in OS X I'd really like to
know how you've done it. When I code it into a script it's not taken
as a command. Instead, "screens" is compiled as an ordinary variable.

Jon's Commands X 3.0 for Mac OS X still has the set screens to
command. Download the package and check out the documentation it's
worked for me using Mac OS X 10.2.

Download Jon's Commands X 3.0 for Mac OS X. It's a scripting
addition,
and as far as I know, was also the only way to change the monitor
resolution via AppleScript in Mac OS 9 as well.
See <http://www.seanet.com/~jonpugh/>.

I'd like to be able to script a change in monitor color depth. I
have
some old software that requires 256 colors, so I want to switch
from
millions to 256 and back again. Does anyone know how to do it?
I'm running OS X 10.2.6 on a G4 tower.
TIA
Jon's Commands for earlier versions of the Mac OS included a "set
screens to" command. The OS X version does not appear to have that
command. Have you found a way around this?

The OS X version also has the 'set screens to' command. I downloaded
it only 2
months ago and use it for this purpose. I'm away from my Mac at the
moment but
I'll double check this and let you know.
Cheers.
