Improve this question

I want to start out by saying I am less than an amateur at java. I really want a full screen feature for my car so I don't have to buy extra gauges when I already plunked down a ton of money for stand alone engine management. The programmers of this program aren't really interested in researching how to make the values full screen, but it makes tuning my car extremely difficult due to squinting....

So my question is: what would be the best way to integrate the first 4 values(rpm,etc..) in a full screen mode with a black background, with only white or blue text being displayed.

Here is an image of the program: http://www.ecmtuning.com/images/forums/v3peeks/v3preview-log.png

Thanks!

If you don't have the source code, there's no way to change anything about that program - as far as I can see the downloads page is only offering binaries. Conceivably, if you could find out what communication protocol was being used between the engine management system and the application, you could write your own application to display whatever you wanted in whatever way you wanted, but that would be a very large task.

As a workaround, you could try installing screen zooming software on whatever computer you're using with the system (it may even be part of the operating system under an accessibility guise), then you could zoom in on the numeric value you were interested in.

You can look at the following resource about Java fullscreen support http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/extra/fullscreen/index.html

Although this would be impossible to create with what you have, try looking at link text's sources. It handles full screen text, images, etc. cleanly and smoothly.
