You're making some assumptions about what I'm assuming. The whole reason this problem has come up is *because* phones have differing aspect ratios. My question has very much so to do with the possibility of a square display - if one comes up, then I want to be able to keep the aspect ratio of the image, squishing the image vertically but cropping horizontally in order to maintain the same view. The only assumption I'm making is that the phone won't be super long and thin, such that the image for the background would run out of horizontal cropping space.
Both alternatives you list are much inferior to the current one, which involves a little squishing/skewing. -Daniel On Jul 6, 5:55 pm, Frank Weiss <[email protected]> wrote: > Sounds like you are making unrealistic assumptions that every device's > display aspect ratio will be similar.
