You're probably using a 640x480 layout on a 1920x1080 screen...  8)

Perhaps your running attract in windowed borderless mode? Check attract.cfg.

If not, post a screen snapshot and your layout.nut.

No embarrassment for a question. What’s your environment? I have found the windows setup works well, but Mac still have a small issue relating to windowed mode. It’s possible there could be another bug.

this is what i did get earlyer

Tested on my mid-2011 27“ iMac - 2560x1440 16x9.

Code: (terminal output) [Select]
Unrecognized or missing aspect, using default: Standard (4x3)Layout Aspect: Standard (4x3)

I edit the findAspect function to return „HD (16x9)“ to resolve the aspect ratio issue. Not sure why its happening.

Under props, AMImage5 had odd width, height, x, y values. I have no idea why. I edited them appropriately and have a full screen video.

I have no idea what the other images are.

I am extremely tired. The props variable is an extremely huge single liner with what appears to be repetitive settings for each aspect setting. This is ok for a generator, but extremely hard for me to decipher and debug. Try reformatting it with new lines and tabs. So tired. I spent 6 hours at work researching how different types of induction motors work, and theorizing why a motor on a cnc machine went bad at work.

so then does this mean the guy who made am builder isnt keeping it up? just curious cuz im not having any luck with it. i cant code or program for nothin. i get lucky when i cut and paste things. thats why it took me 8 moths to figure out the marquee on 2nd screen. so.... I need AM BUILDER!!!! LOL... i have tons of layout ideas but cant get am builder to cooperate with me....
