Resolution
Resolution is ordered from lowest possible 640x480 to highest possible that your monitor supports.
Example:
0 = 640 x 480
1 = 800 x 600
Any values higher than this purely depends on your monitor and you'll have to pull the resolution from there. It requires a bunch of complicated system calls and dll imports, a story left for another wiki.
