Must just check that I understand the question first. Do you want to use the autoscaling feature to stretch the Amiga content, -but you only want to stretch it so it fills the "black area", and not the beige sides?

Or do you want to use a "fixed Amiga viewport", and then scale/stretch that to fill the black area?

OK, if you want it to always stretch the display will all zoom / viewport settings, you can add this to the theme:

scale_x = -0.8541666666666666

This number comes from:
* The open area in your 1920x1080 overlay is 1640x1080
* 1640.0 / 1920.0 = 0.8541666666666666, so the width must be scaled by this factor
* FS-UAE uses a system where a positive scaling factor scales the Amiga output (e.g. 2.0 to scale exactly 2x and create a 1:2 pixem mapping),
* A negative factor is interpreted as scale relative to normal output. Since the "normal" is to stretch the display to the full width of the screen, -0.8541666666666666 means to scale to about 85% of the screen width.

If you e.g. want the sharpest possible display, you can do this instead:

scale_x = 2.0
scale_y = 2.0
texture_filter = nearest
viewport = * * * * = 42 22 704 540

This will create 2x output, with 1:2 pixel mapping (really 4x compared to low-res pixels), but with these settings it will only work correctly with 1920x1080 displays.

In this case, the Amiga display uses a fixed viewport of 704x540, scaled up to 1408x1080 and centered on screen, so you would need to have a bit wider sides in this case

This should be a good option to get the best results with 2x or 4x pixel enhanched shaders...

Only one wish, Frode:

Could you please implement in the next version, that the font of FS-UAE could be changed by (theme-)config entry? So if we have a config option like:

theme_font = xyz

we could use different fonts (i.e. my Topaz font) in custom themes.

While I'm at it, the following would also be quite good settings, optimized for 1920x1080 (because pixels will then displayed at 2x / 4x), but unlike the previous example with the 704x540 amiga display, these settings will also scale when you use other resolutions and window mode. Here with scanlines enabled, and with (default) linear filtering to create the usual smoother output:

scale_x = -0.7333333333333333
scanlines = 1
viewport = * * * * = 42 22 704 540

(add texture_filter = nearest to get no pixel smoothing).

I have improved use of Themes with the Launcher for the next development version. The theme can successfully set options (such as scaling) as long as the user has left the options at "Default".

With regards the the LED, it seems that (most of) the filesys code flashes the HD led regardless of whether it is a HD or a mounted CD image. I will try to see if this is easily fixable.

CD LED when using CDFS is fixed for the upcoming 2.1.20 release

It seems I have already done this You should be able to put menu_font.png and/or title_font.png in the theme dir.

No, and no. Text is written in mixed case. The default fonts just have identical-looking lower and upper case letters. You should post the font if you need more specific help

It's my Topaz font found on your Homepage.

That font works just fine here (just downloaded it and put it in a theme).

With both, upper- and lowercase characters?! Hmm... Interresting. Maybe a platform specific problem. I'll do more testing.
