If GetScreenBoundsBottom() is greater than 100% (using the percentage system) can we have the banner placement corrected so that it touches the bottom of the screen please? At the moment it's floating a little higher up and doesn't really stand out as well as it did if it was right at the bottom. It can often clash with the app background, depending on the ad shown.

One of the ways GetScreenBoundsBottom() is greater than 100% is when you use SetImmersiveMode(1)

Also, can we have a function like GetBannerAdIsShown() please? The name isn't important, but knowing if one has loaded and is shown would be really useful

I had a similar issue and after you SetImmersiveMode(1) then you have to wait a second then set your virtual resolution to 100,100. This then allows you to use full screen and the add should also locate itself properly. This is because the device resolution actually changes after you go into immersive mode. SetDisplayAspect(-1) also does the same thing allowing the full screen to be used for the game graphics/ads. It has to be done after you set immersive mode and after the interface bar has moved off-screen though..

Thanks, but how do you know if the device bar is on the screen, and when it has just disappeared?

EDIT: maybe storing the getscreenboundstop value each frame and on the next frame check if its changed since the last would tell me that the screen has changed with the bottom menu appearing etc.?

At the moment I have SetImmersiveMode(1) in the main do loop happening each cycle. Adding SetDisplayAspect(-1) underneath it fixed the ads problem by putting it at the bottom so thank you @Bengismo. Calling those two functions each cycle might be overkill and might cause some lag, so I'll look at seeing if I can only call them when the screen height changes
