Ok, I recently discovered a problem last night that has been bugging me, and its the size of my game's full display which is 1500 x 800 px. My Windows system uses the display resolution of 1600 x 900 px. Since I want to design my game to be compatible for a off-line version and a on-line version, I decided that my game display would be more compatible with firefox in that same resolution display of 1600 x 900. Now this does not mean it will look the same on anyone elses computer since , I know people use different display resolutions. For my problem, heres the part that I dont get - the same picture when I view it in MS-Paint in full screen shows it centered , is bigger ( to represent what it could look like when its maximized ), than when I view it in firefox when I have it clicked to actual size in firefox.
I am showing a rough draft of my game's GUI in its early stages, because I have to test it in firefox as well as off line.
I recommend downloading the pictures since media fire storage ( which I use ) provides its own viewer which will not show the true representation.
This is the original picture of what it looks like in its actual size (1500 x 800), that I will be using in my game ( this is not a snapshot ) :

This is a snapshot of what the original picture looks like in firefox ,set to firefox's actual size in view settings :

As you can see the picture in firefox is smaller when its set to actual size, but thats smaller than the original picture when I see it.
Does anyone know why ?
