Make the display widescreen (1920x1080)

BeachBoy99

These days, widescreen displays are commonplace, so we should essentially have widescreen Scratch windows. Anyone agree?

What about existing projects?

A good point. I think there should be two options for the screen for whether you prefer it 4:3 or widescreen and upon creating a new project you can choose that.

The Screen was made 4 to 3 because it fitted the screens best, and would cause the least problems. Semi-support. Screens are not created equal. Many screens may be widescreen such as a TV, while other monitors use the 4 to 3 system…

I think we should be able to have the option to toggle between the sizes, but I don't know.

This would set the precedent that the stage's size can be optimized on a per-project basis for different monitors. Sounds fine and dandy, even if I don't see why this would be necessary, but what about devices with portrait, square, or non-standard screen sizes? You could get that to work by letting users resize a stage, with units remaining in pixels. But that could be abused if, for example, someone cranked up the height past most devices' fold. And the Scratch Team would be implementing this feature for what? A few “widescreen” projects? No support.

Maybe, but amping the whole display up to 1080 may be a bit much. The least we can do for this is get it to 480-600p.

I have a moniter so this doesn't affect me…

My Artwork!

We never notice all the green around us until the season’s passed.
We never long for the world to slow down until it goes by too fast,
If everything plays a grander part in a fate we’ll never meet,
Is my destiny to fade away, have a goal I’ll never reach?
We never listen for the songs around us the sound is still.
We never see what our life is worth, and perhaps we never will…
If everything plays a grander part in a fate we’ll never meet,
I will not let my days slip away, I will rise up on two feet.
And I’ll be complete.

If I could rewind, change my mind and do it all again
With all the answers ahead of me, and know how it would all end.
Would I make the same choice, like before I knew.
That our destinies were tied, to each other and it was me and you.
One not two

I think that would be good

1920 x 1080 This is an absolute must!

Scratch 2 is vector built so the projects are already resolution independent.

I rarely see a 4:3 screen these days. If you want to make a portrait project you can easily calculate for this and turn a monitor / tablet on its side! People have been doing this for years. Even powerpoint works in 16:9!

YES. I have a widescreen device (Most people do) that is my device for using Scratch. Allowing widescreen projects would be nice, and would give me more freedom to create games without cramming a UI in a tiny box…

Use Visual C++ or similar if you want widescreen, Scratch isn't going to change anytime soon

Oh hello there.

I' am not so much active niow.

kumquats have retreated.

No support. This would break old projects. Also I have a 4:3 screen.

Sadly my kumquat was eaten by an evil signature.

I Dont Know How To Do Wide Screen But I Do Know That If You Zoom Out All The Way On Your Web Browser, It Will Make The Scratch UI At The Top (Green Flag, Stop, And Toggle Fullscreen) Smaller And The Project Display Itself A Little Bit Bigger, But Wont Do Anything Wide Screen.

They're considering it.
