    Change Letterbox White Bars to Black

    Is it possible to change the Letterbox White bars to black?
    Actually I would always like to keep the background black when using Scaling.

    Thank you.

      Next version will come with Stage:setBackgroundColor and Stage:getBackgroundColor (which will be released in about 2 weeks)

      Before waiting for the next version, you can keep your image a bit larger to fill the empty areas or you can add a large solid rectangle with Shapes like:
      -- assume your logical dimensions are 320x480 and your stage orientation is portrait
local background = Shape.new()
 
background:setFillStyle(Shape.SOLID, 0xff0000) -- fill color is red
background:beginPath()
background:moveTo(-100, -100)
background:lineTo(320+100, -100)
background:lineTo(320+100, 480+100)
background:lineTo(-100, 480+100)
background:closePath()
background:endPath()
 
stage:addChild(background)

      Worked great. I was using landscape, so had to change a few numbers.

      Thank you.
