arbitrary ratio

[jjangga0214]

Hi! Thanks for maintaining this so useful and awesome project.

I am going to buy a brand-new 28-inch 16:18 monitor (LG DualUp Monitor 28MQ780).

Does BetterDummy support HiDPI for this "16:18" ratio?
(If not, I won't buy the new monitor.)

Or, can BetterDummy be applied to an arbitrary ratio?
(I have no experience with BetterDummy, as I don't have an external monitor to test right now.)

Thanks!

Hi @jjangga0214 - yes, you should be able to create a 16:18 (8:9) sized dummy (there was a bug in one of the earlier versions that made this difficult - a user with the same 16:18 display reported it). If you'll have any problems with it, let me know!

clarification: you'll have to use one of the newer betas for it to work.

Oh the user, who already reported a bug, must be using the same model, LG DualUp Monitor 28MQ780, as it's the only monitor with that ratio AFAIK.
Thanks for the clarification!
Now I can buy it without worrying too much.
By the way, when do you expect the latest beta to be stable?

Well it will take some time to get to the full functionality I want to add to the v1.2.x version. However the current development cycle is not focusing mainly on dummies but DDC control and some additional stuff so dummy related functionality should work totally fine (and if one beta has any issue with this, you can simply choose to run an earlier one, I plan to keep them up in Releases until v1.2.x stable is released).
