so.. im using SetScissors(0,0,0,0)
and theres always 2 black borders
so if the virtual resolution
is set to lets say a full hd 1920x1080
and i'll create a simple white sprite with the size of 1920x1080
i will always see 2 black borders aside it ...

how can i know how much bigger the sprite should be if i want it to cover the entire screen ?

thank you for your time.

You can get the 'true' width and height of the screen using the GetScreenBoundsLeft(), -Right(), -Top() and -Bottom() commands. I use this to position UI-elements if the user's resolution makes borders on the screen.

Since the ratio of the dimensions of actual devices is not always the same as what your game is built for (assuming virtual resolution), it helps to build background images large enough to cover the largest ratio in both dimensions. Set them to the center of your virtual resolution and they should cover the black bars.
