[Bug 41150] New: Add GUI component with preselection of display size to winecfg

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41150

Bug ID: 41150
           Summary: Add GUI component with preselection of display size to
                    winecfg
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.8
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

The option to emulate a screen in the graphics section of `winecfg` only allows
to specify the size by number input. It'd be helpful to have a GUI component,
e.g. a combo box, with default screen sizes (800x600, 1024x768, etc.) to select
from.

I have been thinking the same. Also the default value 800x600 is really low for
modern hardware.

Maybe the values could be formed reading xrandr output and putting them into
content some .cfg or .xml file and showing in winecfg.

I think the wine source code where to start digging is here

If we want the ability to specify arbitrary sizes, which I believe we do, we'll
have to keep using input boxes one way or another anyway.

Why would supported modes affect available virtual desktop sizes?
