<div>Many of the page templates are designed to the standard Xerte page size so benefit little from an increase in the project stage size. Many object dimensions (panels, text icons etc.) have either a preset width and height or are set to one of several preset dimensions from which the author may chose (though none intended for a larger display size than the standard Xerte project size). </div>
<div><br></div><div>If you are using the Xerte 2 Desktop then you are probably using the pageTemplates project template in which case you could edit the individual page .rlm files ( in the models folder ) to adjust their dimensions.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To produce templates that accommodate any width and height you need to set things up relative to the available display space. You can identify the available height using the following expression</div><div>
<br></div><div>pageHeight = rootIcon.h - (rootIcon.statusBarHeight + rootIcon.titleBarHeight + rootIcon.titleBannerHeight);</div><div><br></div><div>the pageWidth is easier</div><div><br></div><div>pageWidth = rootIcon.w;</div>
<div><br></div><div>It is perfectly possible to work this way. The scenario template I am currently working on automatically adjusts to the stage size as all dimensions of the display components used have dimensions set relative to the available height and width.</div>
<div><br></div><div>"Out of the box" desktop Xerte does not currently make it easy to work with the desktop editor and still have access to pre-defined individual page templates when you want them. You can import a model file from a Page Templates based project, but you would then have to edit the references to the data obtained from the template.xml file. Page Wizards were developed to provide individual page templates for use in the desktop environment but they are not currently available from the Xerte Wiki. Once the work on modularisation is complete it will be possible to open individual page templates that have their own wizard form in the desktop environment. Effectively the way of working provided by Page Wizards will become part of the desktop release. This may provide you with an environment in which it is easy to work with and modify the existing model files to accommodate your desired stage size.<br>
