**PsychoPy version** (e.g. 1.84.x): 2023 .2.3  
**What are you trying to achieve?:** I want to run my experiment on couple of different laptops and the Images I’m using are out of the screen resolution ratioס

**What did you try to make it work?:** I know I can change each image resolution to the screen resolution in order to match the resolution. the problem is, I guess, that I will need to reposition each component which I build on the images in the original experiment because the size of the images resolution changed. in addition, it will take a long time. I’m looking for smarter and shorter way.

thanks!

Are you using norm or pixel units? Height units tend to work better across different screens.

Try height. The y coordinate goes from -.5 to.5
