Usually presentations are done in full-screen, therefore popup menu "Size of the Screen" of Preferences Panel should be set to "Auto".Let us supporse that preparation for the presentation is done on a desk-top machine, and that the presentation is done with a notebook machine which has smaller screen than desk-top machine has. In such case, it is useful that we could simulate smaller screen. If you specify the size of the screen with the popup menu, presentation is done in a small window.
In ToyProjector, central area of the screen (Fig. 2) is called as "Main Box", which is 85% in length by default. Text and Images without size instructions are resized to be fit to the main box.
You can change the size of the main box.Fig. 2 : Main Box
