How do I scale a Captivate 2017 responsive project to fill browser?

I cannot find a way to scale a test responsive project to fill my browser window.  I've attached a screen shot. I downloaded the Cloud Air Soft Skills sample and it would not scale to fit the browser window either. ResponsiveScaling

Any suggestions? What am I missing here? There are fluid boxes on slide 2. My monitor is set for 1920 x 1080.

Thanks!

Rescalability in a responsive project is a bit contradictory to the design of a responsive project. The highest resolution you'll be able to see full screen is the one you used when designing. Since it is a CP2017 porject you are able to increase the resolution. Were you developing with Fluid Boxes or with Breakpoint Views? If you use Fluid Boxes, use Modify, Rescale project to increase the resolution to 1920x1080.

Just a comment: a responsive project means you want to have that content displayed on mobile devices. If that is not the case, maybe you'd better choose for a normal, rescalable project. You'll find my viewpoint in this blog post:

Thank you! I did try the Modify-Rescale project but going beyond the default settings for Desktop caused some odd results in the other smaller sizes. For now I think the reduced size in desktop for responsive projects is not a major impediment, perhaps as a request for the next Captivate version it can be made more adaptable.

That was what I tried to warn about.
