Resolutions

Resolutions is the list of screen sizes (in pixels) that layouts can target. When you create a new layout, you pick a resolution from this list — the layout designer then shows you a canvas of exactly that size to work in.

Where to find it: sidebar → Admin group → Resolutions.

Why this list matters

Display screens come in many shapes — landscape TVs, portrait kiosks, ultra-wide menu boards, mosaic walls. Designing a layout against the wrong resolution leads to content that’s stretched, cropped, or letterboxed when it appears on the screen.

OTS Signs ships with a few standard resolutions (1080p, 4K, common portrait sizes). Add custom entries here for any non-standard hardware you operate.

The list

Column	Meaning
Name	Friendly name (for example, “1080p HD”).
Width	Width in pixels.
Height	Height in pixels.

Right-click any row for Edit and Delete, or tick the checkboxes to bulk-delete.

Adding a resolution

Click the + button in the top-right.
Fill in:
- Resolution Name (required) — something descriptive (for example, “Lobby Portrait 1080×1920”).
- Width (required) — pixel width.
- Height (required) — pixel height.
Click Create Resolution.

The new entry shows up in the list and is immediately available when creating a new layout.

Editing a resolution

Right-click → Edit. Change name, width, or height as needed. Saving updates the entry, but layouts that have already been designed at the old size are not resized — they keep their original canvas.

Deleting a resolution

Right-click → Delete, or tick rows and use the Delete N bulk button. Removing a resolution stops it from appearing in the layout creation dialog. Existing layouts at that resolution continue to work.

Common tasks

”We bought a new portrait kiosk that’s 1200×1920”

Add a resolution with that exact size and a clear name (“Kiosk Portrait 1200×1920”). When you build the layout for that kiosk, pick the new entry and the canvas will match the screen exactly.

”Some layouts look squished”

Check the layout’s resolution against the actual screen resolution. If they don’t match, the player scales the layout to fit, which can stretch images and text. Either edit the layout to be designed against the right resolution, or change the player’s resolution to match.
