Is your feature request related to a problem? If so, please describe the problem.

I want to simulate / edit themes for screen sizes that are not supported by the current code.

Describe the feature / solution to your problem you'd like

I'd like to be able to specify the screen resolution if the device to simulate, without code changes and writing a driver class.

Options for setting resolution:

  • config file, currently ignored by theme editor
  • theme.yaml
  • environment variable

Describe alternatives you've considered / and or tested

Writing a driver class for hardware that may not exist yet is onerous.

Screenshots / photos & mockups of the Turing screen
Add screenshots or photos/mockups of the rendering on the Turing screen to help explain your request.

Implement initial theme editor support for any screen resolution via …
5729e61 
…config mathoudebine#648

Adds OPTIONAL new environment variable; SIM_RESOLUTION
which if set should be AAAxBBB where AAA is horizontal resolution
and BBB us vertical resolution.

Windows example:

    set SIM_RESOLUTION=320x240

Linux shell example:

    export SIM_RESOLUTION=320x240

Includes a sample clock that expects 320x240 resolution.
