Looking For Recent Thread on Letterbox Scaling

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi folks. 

I’m hunting for a forums post and hoping someone here remembers it and has a link.

I believe, the post was about the common issue newbies run into with letterbox scaling (black bars) and I think it was also related to iPhoneX.  

In the post, I believe Rob Miracle posted an image that was a series of unfilled with colored strokes overlaying each other.  It was an updated version of a very old fixed resolution recipe.

I’m simply trying to get the resolution of the new recipe.  The oldest one was 380x570, then later 760x1140, and now I think it is something like 760x1384, but I’m not sure.

If you know what thread this is from, please post a link.  Meanwhile I will continue reading through old posts till I find it.  I’ll post back if I do to close this thread.

FYI, this is an image of the OLD OLD recipe…

I just posted one yesterday that went over the background image sizes to deal with the Galaxy S8 and iPhone X, but it was text only. I have a different graphic which might be of use:

The Green is the defined config.lua content area. The purple, an iPad, the light blue your typical 16:9 phone, the yellow the S8.

This has the S8’s 2:1 aspect ratio.  The iPhone X is even wider.  It’s a 19.5:9 aspect ratio.

Take the config.lua width and multiply by 19.5 and divide by 9 and that’s the width (assuming landscape, or height for portrait) the background needs to be for the iPhone X.
