I modified the two files, replaced them in my 6.2.1 installation, and ran raco setup. I created a simple test slide, and it beautifully filled my 2560x1440 screen, which has the same aspect ratio (16x9) as HD 1080p. That’s a rather static solution, however. One that embeds the aspect ratio in

Since it hasn’t already been done, I thought it might be more complicated than just changing two numbers. The numbers 1024/768 only appear in two files: in cmdline.rkt, where they provide values for the variables screen-w and screen-h within the unit cmdline@, and in slides-to-picts.rkt, where

I want to use the whole screen, not abandon a significant part of it to black bars. So, yes, I want a different ratio. > On Oct 19, 2015, at 12:56 PM, Robby Findler > wrote: > > It isn't that it assumes a display size of 1024x768. That's really > more of an aspect ratio than anything. When yo

To add to Robby's response a little (because I was trying to reply at the same time): You could create slides that claim to be 1024x768 virtual units but are actually squashed and meant to be stretched out to a 16:9 ratio. Then, using Slideshow's -a flag with a 16:9 display would look right. That

It isn't that it assumes a display size of 1024x768. That's really more of an aspect ratio than anything. When you run the slideshow, it will scale everything to fit (and use big black bars to preserve the aspect ratio). What happens if you just try it out on a big screen? Or are you saying that

slideshow advertises that it’s configured for a display size of 1024x768. If I want 1080p (1920x1080), is it as simple as changing 1024/768 in a couple of files to 1920/1080 and recompiling? What’s the proper way to do this? Is there a reason screen-w and screen-h are not parameters? -- You
