Hi there Supreme Beings,

As I said in my last post (https://www.millisecond.com/forums/Topic25207.aspx), I am fairly new to coding. I appreciate your help!

I am running an adapted version of the Decision Board Task and keep having consistent issues with the size of my screen. I use a Mac and have the latest version of Inquisit 4. My laptop has a screen size of 1440 x 900.

No matter what I do to the canvasaspectratio or the canvassize for my experiment portion, I seem to have a chunk on the right side of my screen that's just blank. I'd really like to have my task nicely centered and to use as much of the screen size as I can. For an aspect ratio of (14.4, 9), the blank space on the right is 3cm, for an aspect ratio of (4, 3)  - this is the original code - it's around 5.5 cm, and for (16, 9) it's around 3.5 cm. I get these results when running canvassize = (100%, 100%) and canvasposition = (50%, 50%).

In order to exploit the full size of my screen, I started some aspects of my stimuli a bit to the left (-5%) but I don't seem to be able to do the same for the right side. When I go too far right (the 100% mark), my stimuli are cut off. Is there a way to go "beyond" the 100% mark, like I do with the "negative" percentages on the left side of the screen? Or can I insert my screen propotions elsewhere into the code (attached)?

Thank you so much!
Julia
