[SOLVED] New default stack size

Post by anmldr » Wed Jun 17, 2020 12:46 am

Is there a way to delete or add new sizes of stacks in the File/New Stack list? I don't even know anyone that has an iPhone 4, 5 or 6 (well maybe I have a 5 somewhere that I have not seen in years).

None of those fixed sizes matter; I have no idea why they were added, it just gives new users the false impression that they need to make separate stacks for every device, and that's just silly.

Just make a stack more or less the size you want, and use a resizeStack message to put things where you want them. LiveCode automatically handles the various pixel densities for us, so we can focus on object placement using logical pixels. You can resize the stack right in the IDE to see how your layout will adjust to any screen dimensions.
