Is it possible to change the Letterbox White bars to black?
Actually I would always like to keep the background black when using Scaling.

Thank you.

    Next version will come with Stage:setBackgroundColor and Stage:getBackgroundColor (which will be released in about 2 weeks)

    Before waiting for the next version, you can keep your image a bit larger to fill the empty areas or you can add a large solid rectangle with Shapes like:
    -- assume your logical dimensions are 320x480 and your stage orientation is portrait
    local background = Shape.new()
     
    background:setFillStyle(Shape.SOLID, 0xff0000) -- fill color is red
    background:beginPath()
    background:moveTo(-100, -100)
    background:lineTo(320+100, -100)
    background:lineTo(320+100, 480+100)
    background:lineTo(-100, 480+100)
    background:closePath()
    background:endPath()
     
    stage:addChild(background)

  • Worked great. I was using landscape, so had to change a few numbers.

    Thank you.
