I think you just need to use the scroll wheel to fix that

[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:800]
[GRAPHICS_FONT:maydayneu.png]
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:1280]
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:1024]
[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:mayday.png]
[GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:YES]

You could also try running an actual game before deciding whether or not it worked, because the start screen doesn't do very well with resolution changes.

Can you gen a world without the tileset? Grab the .18 SDL download from here and try to gen a world without any mods or tileset additions. The world gen crash is far more dire than a resolution issue you may or may not have.

Can't he just zoom in using his mouse wheel? I can get it to look like his does if I move it by accident:

Try disabling the TrueType font.

Do you get an in-game error when you generate a world, or does the program just freeze?

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Well, I was running on .16 up until yesterday and decided to update using mayday's site, it worked fine for me.
I guess you could try downloading it again? :-\

I dunno, did you maybe try what I suggested? If you grab the SDL from the main DF website and you still can't gen a world without changing anything, then the problem isn't the mayday graphics pack.
