Various custom screen layouts

Discussion

^(I decided to post a couple custom layouts for 1080p)

To Enable Custom Screen Layouts:

  • Go to C:\Users\(username)\Appdata\Roaming\Citra\config
  • Open qt-config.ini
  • Scroll down to the [Layout] section and paste/edit the values
  • Set the "custom_*/default=" options to false
      (  Ex: custom_layout/default=false  )

 

###1920x1080    Side-by-Side

Preview 1   Preview 2

custom_layout=true    
custom_top_left=6    
custom_top_top=130    
custom_top_right=1350    
custom_top_bottom=950    
custom_bottom_left=1356    
custom_bottom_top=300    
custom_bottom_right=1920    
custom_bottom_bottom=725    

###1920x1080    In Set, Bottom Right

Preview 1   Preview 2

custom_layout=true    
custom_top_left=79    
custom_top_top=3    
custom_top_right=1841    
custom_top_bottom=1078    
custom_bottom_left=1559    
custom_bottom_top=865    
custom_bottom_right=1841    
custom_bottom_bottom=1078    

 

^(Very brief picture example of how to set up custom screens)

If anyone has a different resolution or another layout they want then ask in the comments and i can probably make it.

If someone is interested in 2560x1440, In Set, Bottom Right:

[Layout]
custom_layout=true
custom_top_left=160
custom_top_top=3
custom_top_right=2400
custom_top_bottom=1438
custom_bottom_left=2080
custom_bottom_top=1078
custom_bottom_right=2560
custom_bottom_bottom=1438

custom_layout\default=false
custom_top_left\default=false
custom_top_top\default=false
custom_top_right\default=false
custom_top_bottom\default=false
custom_bottom_left\default=false
custom_bottom_top\default=false
custom_bottom_right\default=false
custom_bottom_bottom\default=false

The custom_*\default values need to be set to false, otherwise Citra will revert the values on startup.

Awesome i didn't know this was a thing! Can you do one for 1440p monitors?

It can be done for any resolution, it just takes a bit of trial and error to get the right numbers

Well it's not perfect but here, for maximized window:

custom_layout=true
custom_top_left=0
custom_top_top=130
custom_top_right=1700
custom_top_bottom=1200
custom_bottom_left=1700
custom_bottom_top=580
custom_bottom_right=2560
custom_bottom_bottom=1200

I change the values and save but it reverts back to earlier state

Try going into the "qt-config.ini", and changing "custom_layout\default" to false

custom_top_right=3682    
custom_top_bottom=2154

I have a super weird request. I have a 2560x1080p main monitor next to a 1920x1080p TV as a second monitor. Citra has a LOT of black space on UW setups so would a layout that puts screen one on my left monitor (2560x1080p) and screen two on my right (1920x1080p) be possible while maintaining aspect ratio? I've tried making it myself to utter fail T_T

Sparrow800OP•

I replied to someone else with a link to a post that shows a way to do this. I can't really test it myself

Is it possible to spread this over two seperate screens?

1
Sparrow800OP•

I don't have two monitors so I can't really try, but there are posts already saying that they got it to work

Any way to put main screen on botton and touch over the a corner of main screen with transparency? Will it work?

1
Sparrow800OP•
