init UI window: maximum 2048 pixels width?

[heda]

From Lua, I can't initialize a UI framebuffer with a width larger than 2048. Could this be increased? I wanted to create a "full screen like" script and my screen is 2560 pixels width.

By the way, it would be nice to be able to set coordinates of the window. They always open at 0,0 of primary monitor.

Ah, snap!

I had a very similar thought yesterday when I saw that user-created buffers (in JSFX, in my case) had a maximum effective width and height of 2048 pixels.

Luckily, pre-existing files larger than this don't seem to be a problem. For example, after loading a large bitmap font atlas that stretches beyond this threshold, it is still fully accessible and doesn't clip at the boundary. However, I'm trying to optimise draw calls by simply blitting one image to the screen wherever possible, and having a 2048 pixel limit means problems and missing real estate when stretching the JSFX window beyond this. I would suggest at least a 4K or 5K resolution limit to allow for greater flexibility and compatibility on pixel-heavy systems.

There are some workarounds at the moment, but it does feel just a little clunky.

executing gfx.w=2550 in the runloop doesn't help either
it gives you a 2048 pixels window.

Manually resizing the window works correctly with more than 2048 pixels. But I can't set it from reascript.

Any news? I would like to be able to set a window to full screen after the script is running also. Right now I'm having to hard code things ;/ It would be nice if a gfx.init window could be maximized(no title bar too), etc. While we can manually resize and such, we can't really do anything else without hacks.

+1000 on > 2048 W x H

Yes to maximize/minimize and no titlebar.

On windows I'm using Autohotkey to remove title bars and make full screen - but would be much neater within Reascript.

Yeah, a line of code or something. Could add the ability to pass Style and StylEx to gfx.init, or simply add the ability to call WinAPI commands (gfx.init returns the window handle, or a separate gfx.GetWindowHandle)

It would be nice to be able to make multiple windows too
