Reducing the resolution is very tricky: if you have filled the available screen space at 1280*800 then you would have to reduce the size of all your controls proportionately. While this is fairly simple in WPF, in Winforms there is nothing to really help you.

I would suggest that the only thing you can do is look at redesigning your screen layout to allow for greater flexibility in the screen resolution (look at how VS shows things for an example of how to design for flexibility) or do you initial design for a lower resolution.

Sorry, but that's the way it goes.

I'm absolutely agree with Manfred's answer. The flexible design is not so simple.

Please look at my recommendations here: GUI Apperance - C#.Net[^] and here Zom Out malfunctions when Screen resolution changes[^].

Good luck,
