Desktop use: Auto-scale
What problem does this feature solve?
Hi there. :)
I just see this video and you say at 33:26 that Scenic has no auto-scale solution.
In the readme on this page, you say Scenic works well with my desktop
Desktops have different screen sizes.
What is your proposed solution?
Add optional auto-scaling.
If you build a fixed-size UI, Scenic should be fine for the desktop. You could also write your UI in a way that you calculate your dimensions from the resolution of the device after somehow interrogating the device.
Last I spoke to Boyd I got the feeling that if Scenic gets auto-scaling and that sort of responsiveness it would probably be very basic and that the preferred way would be that there is a contrib library that provides a good auto-scaling solution to the UI framework.
I think he is right too. I think Scenic should be fairly simple but offer great power and people can contribute more opinionated abstractions to implement that sort of featureset. Embedded/Connected devices are a big focus for example and those generally do not have a lot of display sizes to cover and the code for that would be wasteful.
So I agree, it would be incredibly useful. But I believe it is something that should happen from the surrounding ecosystem. Does that make sense to you?
