Support more screen resolutions #33

Closed MairusuPawa closed 8 years ago

MairusuPawa commented 12 years ago

So far, Vocaluxe seems to only support 16:9 resolutions, adding black borders on any other kind of screen. I'm using a 4:3 screen, and everything is scaled down and hard to read (tested on Win7 64bit).

(I don't really plan to use my 4:3 screens to actually sing, but move to a widescreen TV anyway, so that's quite a minor issue)

brunzel commented 12 years ago

Sorry, but this was a basic design decision. Vocaluxe would never support other formats. This is because of the theme system which places the objects on a 1280x720 grid. You would need to adjust every theme for every ratio.

The old ultrastar uses a 800x600 grid for placing the objects and just stretches the result for 16:9 screens. But that does not look good.

So Widescreen Displays with 4:3 resolutions for example have to play with black borders despite being widescreen displays ? Why not just let the user choose ?

sundermann commented 10 years ago

Widescreen displays do not have 4:3 solution, the black bars only appear when running on non 16:9 resolutions. If we would support more resolutions, we would have to have theme files for every resolution or have some kind of automatic scaling features.

So where is the problem? This TV has a 16:9 resoluten (or not? Description on amazon is a bit strange...), Vocaluxe should run without any borders. Please make sure, that you've adjust resolution for this screen correctly in system-settings....

Isheee commented 10 years ago

no it has 1024x768. Not rare for plasma widescreen tvs with non square pixels.

sundermann commented 10 years ago

I'm sorry but in that case there is no way to remove the black bars and there are currently no plans to add support for multiple ratios.

Flamefire commented 10 years ago

Is it possible to "stretch" it in software setting the resolution to 4:3 but still using 16:9? It would only be a transform of the main view in OpenGL or something like that...
