I am generally against having these modes set as default because, in most cases, there is not a best way or best setting and its best that users learn what they are enabling by enabling it. |
This is the stretch mode that works best for non-pixel art 2D and 3D games in general (and even many pixel art games, provided texture filtering is disabled). The `canvas_items` stretch mode also ensures that 2D elements are always scaled to a readable size, even at high resolutions. This is especially important when targeting mobile platforms. The difference is immediately noticeable when running a new project in the experimental editor Android port :) Since most people are using Godot to develop games (rather than applications), it makes sense to use a stretch mode that works best for games by default.

Closing as this was more or less rejected a year ago. We can revisit the proposal / original motivation after 4.0 if this is still wanted. |
