question about screen resolution

[Deleted]

hey all,

on my to do list stands the experience/reputationbar

tha plan is to stretch it from left to right at a 10 pixel height at the bottom.
it should be dynamic to fit all resolutions so i began to work with GetScreenWidth() or UIParent:GetWidth().

somehow the texture stops round about 3 inches before the screen ends (1920x1080 don't use UIScale).
same with the 10% markers. they should be evenly spread over the bar.
so is there something i don't know about any secret blizzard resolution api or so?

thank you to everyony who could help me with that probelm.

Why don't you simply SetPoint to BOTTOMLEFT and BOTTOMRIGHT on UIParent?

that's what i'v edone for the bar, but how can it be done with the 10% markers. how can it be done that every 10% a marker appears?

so, noone can make any suggestions exept what treeston said?

have you tried something like:

local screensize = GetScreenWidth() 

xpbar:SetPoint("BOTTOM")
xpbar:SetSize(screensize, "10")

Put a OnSizeChanged script on the bar, divide :GetWidth() by 10, then place the markers accordingly (1*x, 2*x, 3*x, 4*x ... 9*x from BOTTOMLEFT and TOPLEFT).

what i got now is the following.
when i try f:GetWidth() and divide it by 10 to place the markers it doesn't fit.
somehow if i divide by 7.1 it fits nearly perfect, but only on a resolution of 1920x1080.
as soon as i change the resolution it's a mess again.


this is what happens when i try UIParent:GetWith() or GetScreenWidth()


the exp/reputationbar is set with setpoint BOTTOMLEFT and BOTTOMRIGHT but not the bar background

Can you paste your code?

[Deleted]

will do it when at home

this is my code.
please don't get a heart attack it's all for testing purposes so uses no templates, cleaned code etc.
that's only the bg and the marker.
the exp and reputationbar are written in my oUF layout
