Is it possible to add your own resolution presets to the editor’s game panel?
The little drop-down at the top-left of the game panel.
None of the existing ones fit the phone I’m developing on (HTC Sensation). I’d like to know that what I see in the editor is what I see on my phone.
No thats not possible
Well, arse 
++ This would be so useful.
(You can make a web build of any resolution, but that is a round about solution)
well you always have the dirty solution:
I ran into some of the same problem. I threw togather a small c# script that will draw a black box in the lower right had corner of the window so I can size it accordingly. The resolution can be set in the editor.
using UnityEngine;
[ExecuteInEditMode]
public class PlaybackWindowSizer : MonoBehaviour {
public Vector2 resolution;
void OnGUI()
{
GUI.Box(new Rect(resolution.x - 5, resolution.y -5, 5, 5), string.Empty);
}
}
Ok, I spent way too much time on this today. This script will show common mobile device screen sizes on a GUI. The actual window size is shown in the top left corner. This script just needs to be attached to a game object.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
[ExecuteInEditMode]
public class PlaybackWindowSizer : MonoBehaviour {
private static KeyValuePair<int, int>[] resolutions = new KeyValuePair<int, int>[]{
new KeyValuePair<int, int>(320, 240), // 4:3 Very Common
new KeyValuePair<int, int>(400, 240), // 5:3 Samsung Intercept, Uncommon
new KeyValuePair<int, int>(800, 480), // 5:3 Very Common
new KeyValuePair<int, int>(854, 480), // 16:9 Motorola Droid
new KeyValuePair<int, int>(960, 540), // 16:9 Becoming Common on high end phones
new KeyValuePair<int, int>(1024, 600), // 16:9 Tablet
new KeyValuePair<int, int>(800, 600), // 4:3 Tablet
new KeyValuePair<int, int>(1200, 800), // 3:2 Tablet
new KeyValuePair<int, int>(1200, 800), // 3:2 Tablet
new KeyValuePair<int, int>(1024, 768), // 4:3 iPad
new KeyValuePair<int, int>(960, 640) // 3:2 iPhone
};
void OnGUI()
{
// Only show the overlay in the editor
if(Application.platform != RuntimePlatform.WindowsEditor
Application.platform != RuntimePlatform.OSXEditor)
return;
GUIStyle lowerRightAligned = new GUIStyle();
lowerRightAligned.alignment = TextAnchor.LowerRight;
foreach (KeyValuePair<int, int> res in resolutions)
{
//GUI.Box(new Rect(resolution.x - 5, resolution.y -5, 5, 5), string.Empty);
GUILayout.BeginArea(new Rect(res.Key - 55, res.Value - 15, 50, 15));
GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
GUILayout.FlexibleSpace();
GUILayout.Label(res.Key + "x" + res.Value, lowerRightAligned, GUILayout.ExpandHeight(true));
GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
GUILayout.EndArea();
GUI.Box(new Rect(res.Key - 7, res.Value - 7, 5, 5), string.Empty);
}
// Show the current window size
GUI.Label(new Rect(0, 0, 50, 20), Screen.width + "x" + Screen.height);
}
}
Looking at the resolutions all on the same screen made me realize what a huge difference there is between the higher and lower end phones and tablets.
Best of luck,

That’s really cool dude, thank you 
Alpaca Of Zion: That is a really, really useful script. Thank you!
Okay, that’s so weird. I’ve always had a selection of iOS sizes to choose from…
So where the heck did these come from?
I’m using PlayMaker, iGUI and Prime31’s GameKit. Do any of these provide this kind of function?
These sizes automatically are there if the project is an iOS project
so it’s only droid that’s not supported out of the box like this. Bummer.
Ladies Gentlemen,
I too was upset by the lack of support for awkward custom dimensions on android, and not being one to let go of a bone I decided to knock up a script as follows.
its not as elegant as it could be but hey it does the job.
Several requirements are
Game View must be undocked.
Game View Size must be set to free aspect.
In play mode you need to move the mouse over the game view before it can do anything with it(theres no way I can see of it looking for the game view by itself)
this script should be attached to any old game object in the scene (it could probably work as an editor script if I tried but hey it does the job)
you can set the width height using the public Vector2
As you will see said script will continue to set the game view size until Master is set to false.
Enjoy
Just noticed that my ezgui control layout means that once my script has resized my game view I need to just stop start it so they layout nicely. but otherwise it works well enough for what I need.
Alpaca, I noticed when I quit in the editor with your script, my game still seems to show the last rendered frame in the game view window. I was wondering if you knew what was causing this? I’m trying to figure out how to clear the game view window, but no success yet.
Thanks dude, can’t believe I didn’t think of doing this… bit slow today.
The code below is a better approach.
-No need to attach it to a game object. Just place it in the Editor folder.
-Automatic undocking.
-Automatic game window creation if it doesn’t exist.
-Window edge does not disappear.
-Automatic free aspect ratio.
-No need to move mouse over Game window.
