What do mean exactly? The API just returns a window with a OpenGL context. Resolution is the job of the user to define per their needs.

Yeah it needs an option for full screen windows no doubt (I think that’s what you mean).

I think the GL and GLExt have this functionality but I’m not sure if makes sense to call it for the user. That’s what I do with SDL.

I used NSDate class on Mac (Cocoa) but I’m not sure if it’s less accurate than your method.
