It would be really nice if the mobile Tulip player was either able to support automatic resolution scaling or if we were able to set a custom app resolution.
At the native 16:10 resolution, on the galaxy tab A7 tablets that our team uses, you end up with ~1" blue bars on either side of the app on mobile. Modifying to utilize the 16:9 resolution gets it closer, but you still end up with (smaller) blue bars on either side of the app window.
The “closest” to actually utilizing the full screen (minus the native menu bar) is the 4K landscape resolution, which utilizes the entire width of the screen but still leaves a quarter inch gap at the bottom of the Tulip player (and would also require some major rework of existing apps to scale items up to be readable).
Are there any plans to allow for custom app/step resolutions or potentially have the Tulip player scale to the native screen resolution? It would be nice to fully utilize the screen real estate on our tablets.
This isn’t something on our immediate radar, but the feedback we have gotten a few times in the past. I just added your note to the feature request and let me connect with the team to understand the technical hurdles that may have blocked this feature being built.
We use many iPad Air devices around our shop, which have 16:23 aspect ratio. Therefore, we are stuck with blue bars across the top and bottom, which looks bad with some of our applications.
If you’re unable to add more common aspect ratios or a custom aspect ratio, could you at least enable us to change the background color of the App Player?
Some good new here :). Ability to change background color of the App Player is actually currently being worked on and should be coming soon.
Custom App resolution is something the team will look into if they can squeeze in as a quick win, but nothing planned on that front currently.
Responsive apps and adjusting the resolution automatically per device unfortunately would be a much bigger lift technically, but the team is also investigating options there.
