Greetings,

I can't get Botanicula to use 100% of my 1920x1200 screen, even when I choose "fullscreen" and "windows size 100%". It only fills approx. 60% of the screen. Stretching it to fullscreen via Compiz' "Maximumize" function doesn't work either.

My system:
Ubuntu 10.04 64Bit
Nvidia GeForce 9800GT (driver: nvidia-current 195.36.15-0ubuntu2)

Any help is appreciated

We had a few posts in this regard when Machinarium came out.  Have a look a these threads and see if you can tease out a solution...

Hello Alex,

thank you for your answer. I may try the solutions suggested there. But ultimately, having to change the system resolution to play is only a workaround. Since I often switch between work and play, it also is not a practicable solution for me. Moreover, on a TFT display any non-native resolution is blurry.

Another way to counter the problem would be to start the game within its own xserver with another screen resolution, thus fully separated from the desktop. But even if Botanicula can be started in this manner (not all games do), the game itself should care about those things as most other games and applications with fullscreen modes do. Or in short, "Fullscreen 100%" should be 100% of the full screen.

So I see and would like to report this as a bug. How and where can I do that?

Cheers

You just did.  Smiley   But don't hold your breath waiting for a solution.  100% mode with a surrounding black border has been Amanita Design's style since Samorost 1.

However, if you want to push it, follow the About tab up top.

Time to recognize nowadays' myriad of machine configurations from netbooks and tablets to big PC monitors and flatscreen TVs.  Cool

I'll consider that. Thank you.
