Is there a way of ensuring my built application is the same size no matter what resolution the display has?

built-application-same-size-on-all-displays

As far as I know, when building a standalone from a patch or project, the size is the same on other machines.

If you mean that you want your application window to have the same size in proportion to the screen, that is another story, and I suggest to start from the [screensize] object and the "zoomfactor" message.

Although the zoomfactor is not officialy supported, it is still functioning.

What do you mean exactly?

I'm using a 17" display that has a resolution of 1920 x 1200,

when i built the application and opened it on my friends laptop (which has a smaller resolution) - the app was huge as it retained the size of my display.

I was wondering if there was a way to make the patch (which contains fpic objects, sliders, waveform objects etc etc) smaller on smaller screens and so on - so that it looks proportionally the same size as it did when it was built?

Sorry if the wording was a bit confusing!

Try using the (unsupported) zoomfactor message to thispatcher.
