Total noob at ignition still, but finishing up my first project. I have been designing in a 16:9 aspect ratio and now want to be able to port that to various screen sizes while scaling the window exactly as I have it in designer. I’ve been designing in 1200x675 but will be using various screens of various sizes. I think it may have been somewhere in the university videos, but can’t seem to find it. How can I get my screen to scale linearly without components moving around when switching to various screen sizes?

a little more info, after looking at it a bit more, it does scale, but I am using a template repeater to repeat a template 10 times, those templates inside of the repeater do not scale. Is there any way to make them scale with the screen size

here are some photos of my project. As you can see, the layout in the first photo is what I want, then the bounds of the template repeater scale, but the templates don’t

Set the repeater component to use anchored layout, so it stays "glued" to the outer edges of its parent container.
