Stuw R (ID: 000000fe97230aac) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/21/2021 People who want to resize the viewport will be disappointed because what this does instead is zoom or shrink the picture allowing extreme overscan, and the ability to see more detail on a lower resolution screen. It would be helpful if x and y defaulted to 0.5, so the picture is always centred by default I'd like to find another extension which does the same thing but better
