Again, screen resolution has no bearing on this. Perhaps you mean
something else when you say "screen resulution"? But the dimensions of
a dialog and it s components do not change when you change
resolutions. Rather, the real estate you have to work with changes. If
you are capturing full-screen windows, then yes, resolution will alter
the size of a fullscreen image to take up the whole screen (larger on
a higher resolution). But a fixed dialog of, say, 300x200 pixels will
*always* be 300x200 pixels no matter the resolution. It will look
bigger at lower resolutions, and smaller at higher resolutions, but
the quality of the dialog and the physical (for all intents and
purposes) size of the dialog will not change.

And to potentially confuse the matter but to be perfectly accurate,
none of this has anything to do with dpi.
