switch_default_scalemode(3)

💅 NAME 💅

switch_default_scalemode — the little glow-up that decides the default scale-mode for freshly loaded images, bestie ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

nil
switch_default_scalemode( scalemode )

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so basically this function takes exactly one of two vibes for scalemode, and no other options are invited to the party 🙅‍♀️:

• SCALE_NOPOW2 — the default one, the main character, the one you get if you don't say anything 🌸
• SCALE_POW2 — the other one, which you can also set through the command-line when you're starting up the engine, iykyk 👑

The tea on SCALE_POW2 ☕: it's for older GPUs that literally cannot handle textures whose dimensions aren't an even power-of-two 😭 For those legacy icons, SCALE_POW2 will manually rescale the textures so they fit — but at a fairly high CPU cost on-load 💀 Like, it works, but your CPU is gonna feel it.

So: pick your scalemode, set it once, and let the new images know what's up 🫶
