Full screen Experiment OpenSesame

coco9824

Hi,

When I run OpenSesame, an error message indicates in red "Display scaling is set to 75 percent by the operating system. This may affect the appearance of your experiment.". So, when I run my experiment, it appears small at the top left... But I need to have a full screen. I don't understand because the full screen was present the first time.

Can you help me to run my expriment in full screen ?

Thanks

Hi @coco9824 ,

Display scaling is a property of the operating system. It's basically a trick to increase the size (in pixels) of things on displays with a very high resolution, on which things would otherwise look tiny.

To have the experiment run in full-screen, you have to disable display scaling (or set it to 100%, which comes down to the same thing), but it depends on the operating system what this option is called, and how this works exactly. On Windows, display scaling can be found in the settings as "Change the size of text, apps, and other items".

If you're only running your experiment for testing purposes, none of this matters though, as long as display scaling is disabled on the computer that you will use for actual data collection!

Hope this helps!
