New simulator skins (e.g. iPhone 6)

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I’ve just noticed in the daily build notes that Corona has added support for the new iPhones, which gave me a thought that may save you time in future.  

We can already add custom skins, so have been able to add a 1334*750 skin for testing anyway. Obviously it’s a window that doesn’t show the devices frame, but that’s no big deal. The only problem I have with it is that you cannot save multiple custom skins afaik. You can name the current skin, so you could make a skin called “Nexus 10” and make it 2560*1600, but as soon as you wanted to make another custom skin you lose this one.  

Would it be possible for the simulator to store multiple custom skins? That way when a new device comes out we just set the size ourselves, and can easily go back and forth between new devices, and Corona wouldn’t really even need to add the skins for new devices.

Just an idea :slight_smile:

If you are a Pro or better subscriber you can have as many custom skins as you want using the übër top-secret custom skins directory.

There’s a pseudo-tutorial here contributed by a fellow user.

Clearly I need to put this in the documentation somewhere  :slight_smile:

Worked a treat, would definitely be worth putting a small tutorial on the blog IMO.
