My LiveCode stack size is too large for my display. Is there away to adjust it so that it fits on my screen?

Question

When working with a large LiveCode stack (e.g. 2048 x 1536), the stack take up more screen space than is available (monitor resolution is 1368 x 768).

I can somewhat work around this by programatically positioning the stack.g.

set the loc of this stack to 1000,500

but this is pretty time consuming and awkward.

Is there any solutions to this that I am missing?

Answer 1

As of the latest stable release, 6.6.1, there is a scaleFactor property that you can use to scale the visual size of the stack to a percentage of its actual size.

set the scaleFactor of stack "hugeStack" to .75

Answer 2

Have you tried

set the fullscreenmode of this stack to “exactFit”

on the stack? That should activate the new scaling stuff that was added in 6.5.

Answer 3

See this post download shuffleAbout and download the stack that you can use as plugin.
