True fullscreen?

Is there a way so that presentation mode does a true full-screen?  On a 1920x1080 monitor it only fills the center part, maybe a total third of the screen.

Scratch does so much, and is fun to use, it's a shame that "Presentation" mode looks so out-dated and limited, but danged if I can find any way to change it.

I suspect it's a larger issue of the screen pixels being hard coded and exposed in the inerface, but seems there are ways around that to allow higher res.

Thanks!

Re: True fullscreen?

I believe there is an "expand" button on the Scratch site.

Re: True fullscreen?

If it were to fill the entire screen, it would be all stretched out and wouldn't work correctly.

Re: True fullscreen?

Yes exactly - which is why it would be so good to be able to set the res.  Default resolution could be the current value for backward compatibility, but if res were settable you could use larger surfaces, and do more.

Kids are awash in devices with higher res and more capability than Scratch, it seems a shame to not keep pace when it seems like it should not be a huge change.

Resolution change won't be coming in 2.0, but I think Lightnin said it might come later.
I think 2.0 has true fullscreen however.
