Retrotastic Full Screen
By fab1o in Custom Themes
A Retrotastic 2.04 but for any resolution screen! And with a couple of other tweaks!
I love using Retrotastic but it has a few issues for me:
My resolution screen is not 1920 by 1080, it's a little bit bigger than that and so it wasn't filling the whole screen. My resolution is actually set at 1680 by 1050 in Windows but scaled to 125%. See screenshot. The transitions from platform to games list to game details were too slow for me. When I select a platform, the loading screen was taking too long and I could already see the games view by the time the loading screen showed up. There's no game notes and I like to read them in the game view screen. Here is how I made it:
Removed all sizing that limits the resolution to 1080p; Added Stretch="Fill" for all Image backgrounds; Switched Force16X9AspectRatio to false. Here are other tweaks that I did:
Added a label in the games view to display at the bottom, a little (partial) brief about the game. Disabled the loading aspects so the transtions from platform to games list to game details are immediate. I would like to give a shout-out to its author: @faeran
Thank you!
