Re: Pixelscale on Windows = disaster = what can we do?

Setting the scale factor to 80% (for 1.25% screenpixelsvale) doesn't work? I have done that in the past and it worked fine - just always using the reciprocal of the screen pixel scale. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 16, 2017, at 1:49 PM, Tom Glod via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi Folks... > >

Pixelscale on Windows = disaster = what can we do?

Hi Folks... Is there anything that can be done to prevent windows from scaling my stack when the system is set top use 125% or 150% "scaling" options? In livecode ... that is reflected in the systempixelscale and screenpixelscale properties. My stack and the images and controls on it looks like

Hello, Great to see all of you in San Diego! Hope you are all enjoying a warm night or safely returning home. Question for the list: In 6.5.2 it was possible to set the pixelScale property on MacOS, but it looks like that is not possible in 6.7. I am getting a "Can't set this proper

I've long thought that this is a design flaw in the QCC. There should be two fields, one to specify whether the entry is a bug or an enhancement request and a separate one to define the severity. That way, a request such as this could go in as a critical enhancement whereas now there is no way to

I think in this case where it's easy to show that its virtually impossible to design a satisfactory UI for both devices then it would be beneficial to have at least some screenshots. Just two screenshots of the same stack in different density screens of similar size should do the job. If I get a

What I mean is to a java dev the screen is in an abstracted width, height and density. We need to work in the actual width, height and density. Regarding the bug report it might be good I we could add a recipe. Perhaps a recipe for creating a ldpi and xhdpi emulator at the same screen size then

2012-09-28 Thread Monte Goulding
Google assumes we are all working in java where the density is abstracted into 4 common plus a couple of less common density groups. LiveCode doesn't do that abstraction for us so we get the actual pixels on screen. The DisplayMetrics class has a density property which gives you the abstracted

Wow, Monte, I haven't heard of this before, and I don't believe Google makes any mention of this in their resolution development notes. Do you have any links/pointers to devices that have this kind of display? Thanks & Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX Design On 9/28/1

It's slightly more complicated because for some reason android devices might have a different dpi in width and height. So we need xdpi and ydpi. Or maybe given its unlikely to be all that critical the. Maybe an average of the two. Cheers -- M E R Goulding Software development services mergExt

I finally got a chance to review the v5.5.2 notes for Android, and it seems there's still no pixelScale or pixelDensity function - is that correct? Given that it's a one-liner in the Android API and how essential it is in developing for that platform, I'm hoping I've j
