On carefully rereading the dictionary on "fullscreen" I found: "Note: The fullscreenmode only takes affect when a stack is full screen. This is the case on mobile platforms where stacks are always full screen, or on the desktop when the fullscreen property of the stack is set to true."
So on preOpenStack set the fullscreen of me to true set the fullscreenmode of me to "letterbox" set the backdrop to "255,30,30" end preOpenStack seems to work. But not for the display of the font sizes. As to the font sizes I found the following in the release notes of LC 6.5.0: "Fullscreen modes cause clipped text on Windows (6.50-rc-2) In order for fullscreen scaling to work on Windows it is necessary to use device-independent text metrics - the same as when using formatForPrinting. Therefore, on Windows, when you set the fullscreenmode to something other than resize, the stack will change to using device-independent metrics for all text(similar to when setting format ForPrinting)." To be honest, I really don't know how to proceed. Should I just wait until Runrev has made it more practical to apply. Thank you all anyway for your Help !!

The code is: on preOpenStack set the fullscreenmode of me to "letterbox" set the backdrop to "255,30,30" end preOpenStack The font sizes in all text fields scale up, but the window size, the graphics and the images stay in their original size in the published exe. Also the backdrop color stays black no matter what rgb value is set. I would be deeply grateful for any helping hint.
