Screen saver stretch and keyboard delay
« on: March 18, 2009, 07:12:57 pm »
Hi again. Two problems. Fortunatelly, nothing serious.

First: my layout is 368x240 and the pictures for my screen saver are 240x240 and they are shown like stretched, not deformed with wrong aspect ratio (this happens if you ebable stretch for screen saver pictures), but definitelly filtered. I cannot design them in 368x240 because when I switch to vertical mode they are rotated. Understand? My idea is how to display a picture or a set of pictures, no matter if it's smaller than the screen, but in their native res in both modes. On the other hand, the loading screen, which I designed exactly the same way is displayed perfectly in it's original form, pixel by pixel.

Second: I have not been able to get rid of the keyboard delay when browsing the game list. I mean, I press down and it takes a few milliseconds until the scroll starts. Got it?

Hey... the keyboard delay is the Windows keyboard delay. If I change the settings in the Windows control panel, it affects MALA. Unfortunatelly there's not a way to completelly disable the delay in Windows either (as far as I know). I still have to see how this affects the joystick navigation. I'll test tonight.

Good news. The control with the stick (after reducing the joystick polling to 80) is perfect, exactly how I wanted it.
