I am making a custom Unity Editor GUI window and I just want it to stay and the exact center of the screen. Surprisingly, this is harder than I thought it would be on Macs.
This is my code:
....
windowRect.center = new Rect(0, 0, Screen.currentResolution.width, Screen.currentResolution.height).center;
....
The problem is, on a 5K iMac, which has a native resolution of 5120*2880, by default the macOS uses HiDPI to scale everything to 2560*1440. In Unity, Screen.currentResolution returns 5120*2880 without considering HiDPI scaling, but I need that sweet scaled resolution.
I've tried other functions as well. Display.main.systemWidth returns 1920 instead of 5120 or 2560.
Is there a way to do this? Or am I just out of luck? I am using Unity 2018.1.9f1.
Also, if there is a way to get the size of the whole Unity Editor Window(not the game window), I would be fine with it. Thanks in advance!
In Editor, Screen.currentResolution show the resolution of game window. You can enable Maximize On Play to use the maximized window resolution.
And if you deploy to MacOS app, it should be the 5K resolution correctly.
This in an old thread, but in case someone is still wondering, I found out that the highest resolution returned by Screen.resolutions on a retina device is the « magic » resolution. It’s the one that you see in the device settings as « Looks like X x Y ».
This is not mentioned in the doc as far as I could see, so I am not certain in can be relied upon in the long run, but it’s the case currently with Unity 2018.3.
Not quite the same as centre of the screen, but I was having a similar issue and solved it using:
EditorGUIUtility.GetMainWindowPosition().center;

I have 144 Hz monitor, when I move mouse around Unity Editor interface the it feels like the Unity drops refresh rate to 30 Hz (The mouse movment is very laggy, compared to other software's interfaces). Any suggestions how to solve it? THX!
While the accepted answer certainly does work, if you rather use a targeted approach you can also change the monitor refresh technology for Unity.exe to fixed in the control panel. This will address it for Unity and not force GSYNC in full screen only for other apps. You have to restart Unity for it to take affect.

after digging around I found that GSYNC was the issue. After switching to ONLY FULL SCREEN mode it worked!
Do you have some editor processes running in the background? Perhaps from a 3rd party tool? Sounds like it is checking for something expensive.
Go to Window/Analysis/Editor Iteration Profiler to test what could be slowing down the editor.
Another thing that comes to mind, are you using a laptop with a discrete GPU? You could have a power saving feature enabled to run graphically intensive applications (such as the Unity Editor) at a lower frame rate.
sorry if it's a bit off-topic as it may not be code-related, but I'm facing a weird issue.
Everything is fine in the editor, but when I build my application as standalone, I have the windows loading cursor that "load" infinitely. It's happening as soon as the app is running, even on the main menu when no script are running.
What could be causing this ? I've no clue on how I could find the problem (like see what scripts are currently running for instance). It's not causing any issue, but it's just weird to see the loading cursor.
I'm also facing a weird aspect ratio (only in my computer, it may be related to the fact that I've two screen that don't use the same aspect ratio 16:9 and 16:10) but on the player settings, I've only set 16:9 as supported.
Here's my player settings :
I've tried "Default is native resolution" as well as checking more supported aspect ratio, nothing seems to fix this glitch.
Thanks !
Not sure what happened when building application. Check if editor scripts of any plugin do stuff.
It may because PlayerPref has saved the resolution setting.
try PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Screenmanager Resolution Use Native", 1);
or forced change resolution Screen.SetResolution(1920, 1080, true);
I am relatively new to sprite kit and have been attempting to create my first basic game. All physics and other basics seem ok, but for some reason whenever I build and run the screen dimensions are off (looks like default is 1024×768)?
Pretty sure I'm missing something fundamental here but it doesn't seem immediately obvious on how to adapt the screen to any size iPhone screen (this is my ultimate goal).
My question is whether this is actually just a setting issue or is it necessary to implement code?
Thanks in advance and have a great day!:)
To answer the first part, you can easily change the size of your scene.
If you take the default GameScene, click out of the scene and look at the Attributes Inspector. You will see the default size of 1024,768. Personally if landscape I tend to work with an iPhone 5 design resolution of 568,320.
Regarding multiple devices, SpriteKit works pretty well out the box. You should look at the documentation regarding scaleMode, take a look in the GameViewController.swift. .AspectFit worked really well, nearly pefect across all devices apart from a little letterboxing on iPad. However, for the amount of effort put in, more than good enough.
On a side note, I've found the following iPhone Resolution Guide resource useful in the past.
Am working on taking snap from my device camera. The front camera is working good,but the rear camera is not upto the mark. It is showing upside down. I donno why it is behaving strange.
Can anyone help me out.
Cheers!!
It's difficult to come up with a simple answer for your problem, this depends on wether you run it on iOS and Android. In general you need to adjust ( rotate and flip ) the resulting image based on the mirror and rotate value in the WebCamTexture.
There is a toolkit available that help you with solving some of these issues that you can take a look at. It's called Camera Capture Kit and is available on the assetstore ( https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/56673 ) - since the source is included for both iOS and Android it might be a good foundation for helping you tweak and solve your issue in your game or maybe it will just be a plug'n'play solution for your needs. It might let you save literally weeks in the long run since there is a lot of tweaking to get camera capturing right in Unity. Furthermore there is a functionality available to enable and disable flash light which might come in handy as well.
There is also a demo app included which is quite similar to what you have already been doing on your screens.
Cheers!
I am using a simple 2D sprite class based on this tutorial to render PNG bitmaps to the screen:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/9743/how-to-create-a-simple-2d-iphone-game-with-opengl-es-2-0-and-glkit-part-1
Everything worked fine on both my iPhone 4S running iOS 6.1 and my iPhone 5S running iOS 7. Since I updated to iOS 7.1, and on my MacBook Air updated to Mavericks and XCode 5.1, sprites no longer appear on the screen (I just get an empty white screen, which is the color I cleared the background to). When I build the app using XCode 5.1 and run on my iPhone 4S again, it still works.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? Has anyone run into this issue? I am having trouble getting to the source of the problem due to my lack of understanding of OpenGL ES among other things. :) My sprite class is exactly the same as the one in the tutorial.
Let me know if more details/code snippets are required.
I'm not even going to look at the sample code since it doesn't sound like it's the same as your current code. (You said 'based on'.) But I'll tell you how to find your problem.
First, clear to something other than white (like red) as a test.
If the screen turns red you at least know that your view and context and open gl in general is working. That knocks out a lot of possible culprits.
Second.. use the debug tools and chances are it will take you right to your problem. You have to run on a tethered device though and not the sim. Run your app...
Click on FPS in the debug navigator. Then click analyze and be patient. It will take a one frame snapshot of whats happening in open gl. It has to do a bunch of stuff to make that happen and it takes about 30 seconds. But then you'll have an interactive thing that shows you the frame and will let you step through processes and see what code is making that happen, and the frame as it draws each element. It's super cool actually. And probably it will show you an error message (in red).
My guess is that it's no longer loading your sprite images. Something probably changed between 6 and 7 or the versions of Xcode or of OSX. In that case the screen is blank because they're not loaded and therefore not being drawn.
EDIT:
I think the analysis will help find your problem. But to offer more possibilities, in my experience when nothing is drawing it's often one of these things:
An overall OpenGL issue - set your clear color to red or blue to test.
Shader didn't compile - always output shader compile errors so you know.
Bad Shader math or logic - use gl_FragColor = vec4(0.0,0.0,1.0,1.0) or some contrasting color to test. Can you see your structures?
Program isn't getting an attribute. Did you remember glEnableVertexAttribArray
Program isn't getting a uniform. Use the Analyze feature above to check the uniform values to make sure they made it to the shader.
(i'll add more if I think of them)
