How to set zoom-mode in beta??
Best response
Don't put it in your skin, because setting a value for it other than "normal" is likely a very very bad idea as a default. Instead, this should be something user-settable like with a menu.

For instance you can add this to your menu:

    elem "zoom_normal"
name = "&Normal"
command = ".winset \":map.zoom-mode=normal\""
category = "&Map"
is-checked = true
can-check = true
group = "zoommode"
is-disabled = false
saved-params = "is-checked"
elem "zoom_distort"
name = "&Distort"
command = ".winset \":map.zoom-mode=distort\""
category = "&Map"
is-checked = true
can-check = true
group = "zoommode"
is-disabled = false
saved-params = "is-checked"

You'd also want to add zoom-mode to the map's saved-params (which is a semicolon-separated list).
thx I didn't realize you set zoom_mode in the skin I though it is a world variable or something
