Jacqueline,
I was really intrigued by your suggestion of using a scale factor! Can you
elaborate more about this method? I have used Scale Factor and pretty much
developed desktop apps on my Mac using a screen resolution of 1280x768 and
1280x800.
ScaleFactor is a LiveCode keyword (see the dictionary.) It just scales
the stack to a designated ratio. A ratio of 1 is the native size. A
scalefactor of .75 would scale everything down to 3/4 size. A
scaleFactor of 2 would double the size on screen. Other than the
scaling, nothing changes in the stack itself. Font sizes and all
controls are managed for you.
If your original stack size is, say, 800 pixels high, and the screen
height is 768, then the ratio would be 768/800 or 0.96 scaleFactor. I
think I'd round that to 0.9. Also, rather than use the actual screen
height, use the "working screenrect" to get the useable area that isn't
covered by OS elements.
