I appreciated the comments from A PTE User very much. I am always frustrated that after creating a slide show (just a simple one containing landscape and portrait photos of about 3:2 ratio, without any objects added) that well fits at least 2 sides of my screen of 1920 x 1200, the slide show does not similarly fit into my friends' screens of 1920 x 1080, 1280 x 1024, or 1024 x 768 etc. It leaves black slips at all 4 sides of many of the slides! Ironically, the above problem did not occur when I used PTE version 4.48 a few years ago. In that version, there is no need to set any screen or slide size or aspect ratio. The slide show created simply fits into at least 2 sides of any screen of whatever ratio. That's simple and perfect. I noticed that the Administrator seemed to acknowledged this in one of his replies in April 2011. It is due to such convenience of version 4.48 that I still prefer using that version now scacrificing the other advanced functions offered by subsequent versions. I sincerely hope that the great advantage of version 4.48 will be revived in version 7.

Dear yachtsman1, I am using 16:9 monitor with display resolution 1920 x 1080. As I make the slideshows mainly for self-entertainment, I produce them all at 1920 x 1080. The problem occurred when I pass the slideshows to my friends who have 4:3 montiors only.

In Project Options -- Screen, the aspect ratio of the slide has to be specified, i.e. 4:3 or 16:9, etc. to suit the corresponding display ratio of the PC monitor. The problem is that the slideshow may sometimes need to be displayed on monitors of different ratios. I found that when I set the ratio of the slide at 4:3 and display it on a 16:9 monitor, 4 black strips appear around all sides of the slide whereas I expect that only 2 black strips appear at the left and right sides. Similarly, when I set the ratio of the slide at 16:9 and display it on a 4:3 monitor, 4 black strips appear around all sides of the slide whereas I expect that only 2 black strips appear at the top and bottom sides. Could the administrator or any member help to fixt the above problems in PicturestoEXE 5.XX, which do not occur in version 4.xx?[size="4"]
