Wide Screen Monitor Stretching

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Wide Screen Monitor Stretching

My take on this is that it is a function of the person's laptop/scree. And more than likely is a setting in their driver. I don't think, as programmers, that we need to worry about this. If the user doesn't like it they can turn it off in their driver. It is not the job of the programmer to know what every video card might do and try to turn it off/on.

Just like when I run an 800x600 game on my LCD. My PC can show it centered on the screen, or it can stretch it to fill the screen, but that is my choice, not yours as the programmer of the game.

You are just wasting your time trying to accomodate every screen/mode on the market. There are way too many of them.
