 Thanks so much for the quick reply! Sounds a bit complicated then for me to shift the OSD up and down to fit it into the screen area - darn, I was hoping it would be something simple like just editing fixed pixel position coordinates (like changing 1200 to 1000 to shift it up by 200 pixels).

I've been searching all over these forums and the net and found lots of people it my same situation, but apparently no good solution. I found a couple of skins that seemed to be designed for this, however that means I can't use your excellent Estuary which I think is the best.  Is this something you would consider adding to your skin? Ideally it would be great if I could easily toggle between zoomed (shifted) and unzoomed (default) positioning (but without needing to use a mouse, as I have a Nvidia Shield with just a remote). Thank you very much again, I really appreciate it.  

 I have no idea how to do that, I don't have projector... Zoom is only when playing or all in the skin ?  

 Thanks for giving this some thought! When the pj is zoomed it is that way for the movie and also when outside of the movie, like in the main GUI/settings/movie wall selection page etc. So it would be a "nice to have" for the whole app/GUI to take this into consideration, but I primarily care about the OSD during playback. And only for movies. This movie playback area would be a great place to start as an experiment and see how well it worked, and then later perhaps based on demand expanding it to the whole skin down the road.

Just some quick background in case you are not familiar with the details.  And I speak for those of us that have 2.35-2.40 aspect ration wide screens in a CIH setup (fairly common for large projectors).  My screen is 2.35. So when I watch 16:9 content I have fairly large vertical black bars on each side of the image.  But with 2.35-2.40 aspect ratio movies, I zoom the projector out so that those black bars, as well as the top and bottom black bars (which is what you see in your 16:9 setup) are off the screen. This "magnifies" the image and fills the entire screen with the video area.  With the black bottom/top bars now off the screen.  So when the OSD is up, these are not visible.  To be visible, the playback OSD bottom bar OSD just needs to be shifted up by x pixels, and the top bar OSD down by the same x pixels.  

I'm not sure what the x pixel shift number actually is, but I'm sure there is a really simply fixed amount which can be easily determined (I just need to think about it a little bit more, it may be something like 25% decrease in height, so like 1620 pixels instead of 2160 for 4K).  The most versatile solution would be if you could input a "pixel shift" setting somewhere so that we can change it ourselves. I say that because some have a 2.0 aspect ration, 2.35, 2.37, and some 2.40.  The top and bottom shift amount would be the same, so it only needs one setting.  Also sometimes people with 2.35+ AR screen watch 16:9 movies expanded to close to 1.85, in which case they'd also want a little shift.  If your skin is variable based (sorry I know nothing about skins) then it could be as simple as "position+x" and "position-x" instead of just "position" for where you place the OSD elements (IOW just adding or subtracting an offset to each fixed position).  I'm also pretty sure this only affects shifting up and down - no adjustment is needed for shifting anything left/right.

Makes sense? I'm happy to do any testing or provide whatever feedback you need to try this or whatever else you may need.  Thank you again so much for considering this - it would really make the skin really exciting to all of us using projectors.

Oh! Also it may be really helpful if you take a look at this project https://github.com/Funkd/ScopeNox and see the readme - if I understand correctly the author took the Aeon Nox skin and changed it exactly for this purpose of zoomed projectors.  Although he may have done it for the entire skin including the OSD, whereas I mainly care about just the playback OSD just to try and keep things simple for now (or at least as a milestone). 

I understand the principle but it causes to adapt all the skin. It would take too much work, it's a bit like this we started from scratch to create a skin.
