  • Hello,

    I am trying to make my background become visible at the center of the screen but unfortunately, my background is only visible at the left side of the screen and there is a big white space located at the right side of the screen when I preview my layout. Can someone suggest me a solution so my background can be at the center of my screen when I preview my layout rather than at the left? Here's a picture so you can understand my issue:

  • Just drag your background image to the center in layout view. Alternatively, click once on your background image and hit C on your keyboard.

  • Try Construct 3

    If you observe the previous images that I have submitted, my image is already over the layout but when I preview my layout the image appears at the left side of the screen. I was wondering how I can make my image appear at the center of the screen just like this picture for example:

  • Right. You have to center it (or resize it) to fit in the dotted-line box. That box represents what you see on-screen when you run the game.

    That space-shooter screenshot is like that because the layout is sized vertically (height is larger than width) and is centered automatically in the browser. Layouts are always centered.

    Open that space-shooter project and look at the layout for it. You will see that the background is stretched to fit over the dotted-line box.

    How can I stretch the layout to fit over the dotted-line box? Tell me the steps I have to follow.

    Thank you!

  • Are you seriously saying you don't know how to resize an image? Or resize a layout?

    Like I said in my previous post, look at the space-shooter project and see how it was done. I really don't know how to explain it any simpler.

  • To Lancifer:

    Do you think that it's possible to reduce the visible area (dotted lines)?

    Thank you!

  • The Dotted-line box is your window size. It's what is visible when you run your game. You set the size of it in your Project's Properties panel.

  • Ok Thank you I have solved the problem.
