Construct 2 to Windows Phone 8 screen resolution

I'm making an app using Construct 2 for Windows Phone 8 and I'm using the screen resolution guidelines found here. I'm using the WXGA screen, so a 768 x 1280 resolution. That is what I have set my layout size to in Construct.

However, when I deploy my app to my device (720 screen) or a WXGA emulator, it seems that the app gets scaled down and there is a black area under my app, like my app isn't using the full screen size. Does anyone have any idea why this is?

For this kind of questions, you should really provide screenshots, besides from your code. (And you should always post some code, as it's obviously the culprit of your problem). – Claus Jørgensen

You said it yourself. Your phone is 720p (16:9), but you're using a WXGA (15:9) resolution.

As described on your link, Multi-resolution apps for Windows Phone 8, 720p is ~80 pixels taller.

Also, FYI:

  • Lumia 920: WXGA
  • Samsung ATIV S and ATIV Odyssey: 720p
  • HTC 8X: 720p
