Question

Hi,

How is full screen mode on a super wide computer monitor going to work in Godot v4.8+?
We have no idea on how to do the above properly.

Anyone have any suggestions?
Let us know, thanks!

Use anchors, margins, and container nodes.

Hard to say specifically, screen size is something you may have to target, maybe even use scripts and specialized assets to support a wide variety of screens such as portrait and ultra-wide.

Hi,

Thanks for the info…

Would the below GDScript code work 100% of the time to find 16:9 monitor resolutions?

Let us know, thank you!

VisualsCore.MonitorScreenSize = DisplayServer.screen_get_size(0)

print( “W=”+str(VisualsCore.MonitorScreenSize.x)+“/H=”+str(VisualsCore.MonitorScreenSize.y) )

var ratio: float = ( float(VisualsCore.MonitorScreenSize.x) / float(VisualsCore.MonitorScreenSize.y) )

var sixteenByNineRatio: float = 1.77777777777778

print( “r=”+str(ratio) )

if is_equal_approx(ratio, sixteenByNineRatio):
    VisualsCore.KeepAspectRatio = false
    print(“false”)
else:
    VisualsCore.KeepAspectRatio = true
    print(“true”)`

You should be checking the window size, it may be smaller (or larger) than the screen size.

Checking if you are near a preferred ratio doesn’t seem very helpful, but I don’t know what you intend to do with KeepAspectRatio
