Correct me if I am wrong, but none of the discussions
involve *setting* the operating system's screen resolution.
Rather, they involve *getting* the screen resolution, and making
adjusting something like a frame size and/or location (e.g.,
centered) to the current user setting.

For operating system specific control like this, you
would have to write Windows native code (using Delphi,
C, C++ ...), put it in a DLL, and use JNI to access
that external module from within your Java code.
