Group: Forum Members Posts: 6, Visits: 55	Hello, I have almost finished my study I just need some last advice. Up to now I set the defaults as follows: <defaults> /minimumversion = "4.0.2.0" / fontstyle = ("Arial", 3.52%, false, false, false, false, 5, 0) / screencolor = white / txcolor = black / txbgcolor = white / windowsize = (1000px, 744px) </defaults> Unfortunately, the command "windowsize" does not cover the whole screen so that a part of the screen stays visible which could distract my subjects. But of course, I want it to be suitable for all possible screen sizes so that I can't simply widen the size. Could you tell me an easier way (than integrating html pages - I simply don't know how to do it) to fix the windowsize so that my instructions (which are often no real "instructions" but "captions" or "texts") are shown in a fix window and that my pictures which are sometimes involved in the text don't get mixed up with the text? Thank you!

Instead use the /canvassize, /canvasposition and/or /canvasaspectratio attributes to achieve consistent results across varying screen sizes / display resolutions: <defaults> <defaults> /minimumversion = "4.0.8.0" / fontstyle = ("Arial", 3.52%, false, false, false, false, 5, 0) / screencolor = white / txcolor = black / txbgcolor = white / canvassize = (100%, 100%) / canvasaspectratio = (4,3) / canvasposition = (50%, 50%) </defaults>

Group: Forum Members Posts: 6, Visits: 55	Thank you! But with these commands all my texts slip a bit to the left...? In one page I integrated a picture of a "2" in an exact position in the text. Will it be shown in the same position in the text on all screens with this command? Thanks again.

Yes, because 1000px * 744px isn't exactly a 4:3 ratio (1000/744=1.344...; 4/3=1.333...). > Will it be shown in the same position in the text on all screens with this command? This depends entirely on how you positioned the respective <text> element. In general you should express any and all /size and /position attributes throughout your script in percentages. Then you'll get consistent results across resolutions / screen sizes.
