Screen size measuring

[DNin01]

Currently, projects can get the size of the window using Window Controls and the size of the entire display using Screen Resolution. But what if more information about the screen, window, and project player could be obtained through a single extension?

Here are all the interfaces we can use to get different size measurements, and some ideas for what we could call them:

	API	My term	Access
🖥️	window.screen.width/height	Display	✔️
🖼️	window.screen.availWidth/availHeight	Desktop	✔️
🟦	outerWidth/outerHeight	Window	✔️
📄	innerWidth/innerHeight	Webpage	🛡️
📽️	Scratch.renderer.canvas.width/height	Player	🛡️

And here's how I represent them visually:

Which of these do you think would be useful for Scratch projects?

This does exist in Window Controls, I still never understood the point of Screen Resolution standalone, considering it already concisely in Window Controls.

Good idea.

Scratch.renderer.canvas.width/height is technically already possible using of Simple3D + high quality pen, but it could be useful for many use cases without Simple3D, and importing Simple3D just for this would be a bloat

	if (renderer.useHighQualityRender) {
	canvas.width = renderer.canvas.width;
	canvas.height = renderer.canvas.height;
	} else {
	canvas.width = this._nativeSize[0];
	canvas.height = this._nativeSize[1];
	}

That's not what OP is asking for. In fact, they acknowledge in the original post that Window Controls has these blocks. What they're looking for is an extension that can detect the size of different parts of the screen, such as the project player, window, display/monitor, etc.

No I understood that, I lamented about a different fact, that the blocks in the other listed extension also existed in WC. But whatever. Let's move on.
