fullscreenmode in latest build

[bertBUSIbr8]

Hi,

Last year I made a kiosk app for a Win10 Surface 3 tablet.

Works fine but needs some modifications now and I ran into an issue with fullscreenmode.

The build from last year works as expected, fullscreen of the stack to true and fullscreenmode to showAll.

Now, using 8.1.3 [after I ran into the problem with 8.1.2] that doesn't work anymore and the app doesn't scale properly and show at what looks like to me 2x size. Taken my working project from last year and save as a standalone doesn't fit the screen anymore either so looks like it's something with the LiveCode build?

The app is build at 1920x1280 which is also the screen resolution. I have HiDPI scaling on in the build settings but on or off doesn't make a difference.

Any know issues?


Regards,


Bert

Hi,


As part of the modifications I had to make, I did a reset/reinstall of the system which resulted in the display setting defaulting back to displaying everything at 150%.

Forgotten about that...

So there you go, in case you have a similar problem.

Hi Bert,

Reset / Reinstall of which system? The tablet or Livecode or Windows?

Would definitely be good to know for future reference.

Hi Lagi,


I did a reset of the Surface 3.

Settings > Update and Security > Recovery > Reset this PC

The system was due a refresh after almost a year of running as a kiosk. But that made a setting in Settings > System > Display default back to "Change the size of text, apps and other items: 150%". Turning that back to 100% made it ok again.

One this I don't get here though: When I ran the original app I made last year after the System Reset, it ran fine, filed the screen as expected no problem. When I save that same source file again as a standalone, it showed up enlarged at 150%. No idea why, but all is ok now after setting that setting back to 100%.


Hope it'll be of some use to someone one day.
