I run my Android phone (Samsung Note 10+) in high-resolution mode (3040x1440); in this mode, the newRPL skin doesn't fit the screen: it's too wide. The skin does look OK in the lower res mode (2280x1080). Would you be able to provide a skin that works for the high res mode, please?

Also, when the app starts, there's a popup: "Detected problems with API compatibility". The phone runs Android 9.

Finally, I note that File->Exit doesn't actually exit. It pops up the prompt "do you want to save" twice, but doesn't actually exit.

Known issues?

thanks very much indeed.

There's one and only one skin, which gets stretched to fill up the screen (turn your phone 90degrees and see for yourself). The problem is I believe Samsung reports a fake screen size, reserving some size for the edge notifications in some models, and this confuses the QT framework. There's nothing I can fix, I'll upgrade to the latest QT version for the next release to see if they fix that eventually.

Exit also relies on the QT framework. In Android there's no such thing as exiting an app, you just switch to another one so it doesn't seem to work. Just don't use exit from the menu for the time being.

You are the first to report that API compatibility problem, newRPL is compiled to run on Android 5.0 and up. I'll update the SDK for the next build, to see if they solved whatever that is.

Thanks for the report, I wish I had better solutions...
