Making a background

Hello Corona Community!

I’m trying to get my background to go ‘full screen’ inside my app, but I can’t seem to get it right. I’ve created a background that’s 480x320 and inserted the image using display.newImageRect. I’ve also set up my config to be width=480 and height=320. Why will my background not go into ‘full screen’ mode?

I’ve placed the code for config.lua and menu.lua below. I also included a screenshot of the app and how it’s not full screen.

Config.lua

application = { &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;content = { &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;width = 480, &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;height = 320,&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;scale = "letterBox", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;fps = 30, &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}, } &nbsp;

Menu.lua

local storyboard = require( "storyboard" ) local scene = storyboard.newScene() function scene:createScene( event ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;local group = self.view &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-- display a background image &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;local background = display.newImageRect( "bg-2.png", 480, 320 ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;background:setReferencePoint( display.TopLeftReferencePoint ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;background.x, background.y = 0, 0 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-- create/position logo/title image on upper-half of the screen &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;local titleLogo = display.newImageRect( "logo.png", 264, 42 ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;titleLogo:setReferencePoint( display.CenterReferencePoint ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;titleLogo.x = display.contentWidth \* 0.5 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;titleLogo.y = 100&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; end scene:addEventListener( "createScene", scene ) return scene &nbsp;

What device in the simulator you viewing that on ?

Try it on iPhone 3G.

Didn’t you ask this in another thread? Your screen shot is familiar.

The config.lua should always be set as if you are a portrait app. Width should be the smaller number, height the taller. So flip the numbers and see if that helps you.
