I want to know the size of the screen in pixels in order to calculate the ratio, which way to know it? Or is there a direct way to know the ratio of the screen?

why do you need to calculate it for?

if you don’t know the users screen sice, you can not define the px. correct me if I’m wrong…

Could have been a function like `get screen.width` like in the other components.

I want the application size to be according to a certain ratio, so that it is equal on all screen sizes. I just found that there is the function `AspectRatio` for screen size so i should try it.

Hi,

You can get that from the width and height blocks if you need it per device.

I stored it as a value to use later:

Thanks. You’re right, I searched for it on the screen elements and couldn’t find it, now I searched again thanks to you and found it on the device elements. ![device](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/a/ba99275be113136b4d935c818fbd21ab02522687.png)
