Posted: Sun Feb 06, 2011 1:18 pm Post subject: Changing Display Size of Screenshots? |
|
|
I don't want the blue border that the GameBase front-end creates around the screenshots. I guess I must fill in two numbers in the Normal "W" & "H" fields to make the screenies appear as large as they can in those portals so that there's no room for a border.
So what numbers should be filled in there?
Thanks in advance! hehehe _________________ "My mind is going, Dave--I can feel it!" |

The Gamebase frontend doesn't add or remove the border in screenshots.
With the values for screenshot size, you can resize the screenshots including the border.
How to take borderless screenshots or remove the border from screenshots with 3rd party software, is already asked and answered in this thread. |

Woah, woah! Are you sure? I mean how did my screenshot collection get borders on them? You mean I gotta crop ALL of them? I didn't seem to have to do that before upgrading the front-end to the latest version recently.... _________________ "My mind is going, Dave--I can feel it!" |

If these screenshots did not have a border before, it's another story.
First assure your screenshots do not have borders by viewing them with an external app.
If you do not see a border, you only have to set the picture size to the same size of the screenshot.
For C64 screenshots without a border, it's 320x200 pixels, the same resolution as a C64 uses.
For other screenshots, check the resolution of your picture and fill in the same values in the database options screen. |

the resize was by me, because that's how i like it.
i re-snapped some screens for games that use the border area.
Example Wizball.
edit the settings.ini file and change the size back.
FullSizePictureWidthPixels=384
FullSizePictureHeightPixels=272
SmallPictureWidthPixels=192
SmallPictureHeightPixels=136
ZoomedWidthPixels=768
ZoomedPictureHeightPixels=544
------------
FullSizePictureWidthPixels=320
FullSizePictureHeightPixels=200
SmallPictureWidthPixels=160
SmallPictureHeightPixels=100
ZoomedWidthPixels=640
ZoomedPictureHeightPixels=400

Ah! Okay, I see why and all hehehe
But that's a valid point: Some games use the border. Not many, it's pretty rare, but there are a few.
I guess the only way to show all the games without borders will showing those few games with their borders is to crop and/or resize all the screenshots (assuming they have borders) EXECPT those few that use it? Or is there any kind of settings somewhere I could use that would show the bordered games with their useful borders but all the rest without? _________________ "My mind is going, Dave--I can feel it!" |

if the larger screen shot is shown with the smaller window settings,
it just shrinks the picture to fit the window size.
you still see all the border, but it just looks untidy to me.  |
