Re: New MacBook Pro Display Notch

2021-11-02 Thread Martin Koob via use-livecode 
Hi

I saw a MacRumors.com  article about this issue. 
https://www.macrumors.com/2021/10/28/scale-to-fit-below-built-in-camera-setting-notch/
 


They gave another link to some recently released Apple documentation that 
explains to users how to enable the ‘Scale to fit below built-in camera’ mode 
that prevents your menu bar from being partially obscured by the notch.

How to adjust an app's settings to appear below the camera area on your 14-inch 
or 16-inch MacBook Pro
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212842 


This is something you can point your users who are encountering the problem.

I'm not sure this will be a problem, unless you are trying to display
something in the menubar, since that's where the notch is going to be.

Re: New MacBook Pro Display Notch

I should have thought the simplest way round this problem was to work on 
the assumption that from now on
ALL Apple displays will have a notch and "cut one's stack" to 
accommodate that.


Of course this is only relevant to people who want to annoy end-users by 
providing full-screen window apps.

In response Apple has created a new “compatibility mode” for apps running on 
Macs with a notch. When this mode is active, the system changes the active area 
of the display to avoid the camera housing. This mode can be turned on/off by 
the user via a checkbox in the app’s get info panel or it can be activated or 
deactivated by the developer via a new ‘info.plist’ key.

New MacBook Pro Display Notch

2021-10-19 Thread HENRY LOWE via use-livecode 
The new 14 and 16 inch MacBook Pro models announced by Apple yesterday include 
a display notch to house the 1080P front facing camera. Clearly this may cause 
problems for apps that display content in the screen area occupied by the new 
notch.

In response Apple has created a new “compatibility mode” for apps running on 
Macs with a notch. When this mode is active, the system changes the active area 
of the display to avoid the camera housing. This mode can be turned on/off by 
the user via a checkbox in the app’s get info panel or it can be activated or 
deactivated by the developer via a new ‘info.plist’ key.
