Enable Widget Scaling

Before you begin

This procedure is for app creators designing for a specific device or custom resolution, and requires a device skin. To configure a device skin, see Select a Device Skin.

About this task

Target devices may display your app using different dimensions than in the IDE, producing unexpected results, and requiring rework and republishing. Enable widget scaling to guarantee consistency in your app's resolution from design to implementation.

Note: Scaling applies to the selected device skin only. Results may be undesirable when published to devices with unknown or varying resolutions. For example, fonts and input boxes may appear too large or too small.

Procedure

  1. Select the tab at the bottom of the canvas to reveal its options.
