Question About Resolution Independence

[Colin Holgate]

The dictionary says what the two properties are for, but they are slightly confusing. I would start by trying iphoneUseDeviceResolution true.

I think that exactFit will be the least used full screen mode. It would distort your card to match the ratio of the device. Your choices are to either not set the full screen mode, and use code to lay out all of your UI, or use noBorder or showAll, and have extra content that fills in the parts that are revealed on wider or taller devices.

Read through the topic "one-rect-for-all alpha” for a lot more discussion about that.
