There is  @rect attribute for jit.window.

actually, it doesn't affect the fullscreen function behavior.

The image is just distorted to fill all the screen.

I tried to send again the rect message after the fullscreen call as

Do I really need to put my movies into a bigger "square framed" matrix

that fit with my projectior ratio to avoid that?

You can keep the ratio the same yourself by using the

jit.gl.videoplane object and the scale attribute. If you need to mask

something to make it look like a letterbox, then just draw 2 black

quads in the properl locations very close to your camera.

The [jit.gl.videoplane] way seems more cpu intensive than using [jit.window].

Really surprising that it's so complicated to get a non-distorted

fullscreen fonction. It's a natural feature I guess... In any image

software such as those from Adobe give this fullscreen feature!

Thank you for all your advices!

>>>Alternatively, you can use a black desktop background, and explicitly define jit.window's @size and @loc attributes, (and then hide the title bar)

How would one do to hide the title bar in this case?

keep original frame ratio in fullscreen mode with [jit.window]
