Why CTF app windows have different resolution? (e.g. 640 px image is 1080)

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    Hi,
    maybe there is something basic that I am missing (also because I do not know much about screen resolutions, DPI etc.) but I found it odd - see the example with the picture below: I created a simple image (size 640x480 px) in MS Paint. I created a new CTF app with resolution 640x480 and set the image as background. In the frame editor, I can already see the picture is "bigger" then it should be.
    When the CTF app is open, you can see it (and the picture within) is bigger. Why is that? Should it not be the same? I noticed the problem when running my game (1024x768) which - because of CTF app size being bigger - does not show properly on my 1920x1080 screen :(

    When I measure the sizes in the image - the height of the screen (1080) is correct but the image in the CTF app is 1080x720.

    I'm unsure how to answer this, I created a 640x480 image in Paint, then exported it out as a PNG, then imported it into Fusion as a backdrop and it works fine here...

    What is your size for the backdrop once it's imported?

    I've noticed the same difference between my Windows 7 desktop computer and my Windows 10 Surface Pro 3. I think it all comes down to DPI settings and which elements that gets affected by it.

    Danny's Paint document is probably set to 96 DPI while yours, Blizna is at 144(?)DPI. You can check this in Paint if you go to "File" > "Properties". Paint seems to lock it's documents DPI settings to whatever Windows is using for certain elements.

    Blizna, if you right-click on your desktop and pick "Display Settings" you'll be taken to a Settings tab for various Windows display preferences. At "Change size of text, apps, and other items" you should see a drop-down list with a percentage(yours most likely at 150%) If you set this to 100% then new Paint documents should align with Fusion(after restart). Though changing this setting may make some currently running apps go bonkers(Fusion included!). Restart Paint with a new 640 x 480 document and see if it matches up with your Fusion app.

    Though this is just how I made Paint on my Surface Pro 3 match up with Fusion. I don't know if this is the ideal way to go about it. Probably not...
