heula 189 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) In MBPhoto when I am on a photo that photo is shown as backdrop also. That's nice but it would be a lot better when the photos are kept in aspecct ratio. For example the portrait photo's are stretched out over the screen. Same thing for the photo thumbs. I really would like MBphoto to show photos as backdrops and photothumbs in the original format. An example of a stretched portrait photo.

ebr 14853 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 This is a function of the theme, not the plug-in. Most themes are expecting 16x9 backdrops and fill the screen with them. There isn't a lot we'll be able to do here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad but perhaps themes can make exceptions for items that are catagorized as "collection type: Photos" Maybe these collection types can be set to keep aspect ratio?

ebr 14853 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The issue is that most themes were developed for MB2 and are not being maintained/modified. Any that are new could potentially do this but it would be a function of the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leedavies 301 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Okay thanks. I was a NEO user by now i'm all into the ROC. Gonna ask leedavies if it's an option. Currently, backdrops default to stretching/possibly distorting to fill the whole screen. I'll look into adding a folder view settings option to preserve backdrop original aspect ratio so you can set it by folder/collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
