Custom Screen Size
Would someone please provide examples of when you would use a custom screen size? The only information I have found is that the maximum custom size is 2,047 x 2,047.
I use a long width and a short height often when I am designing Storyline content that will specifically be shown inside of a Rise Storyline block. Most Rise blocks tend to be more of a banner than a block so doing so helps the Storyline content fit more seamlessly into Rise.
Here is an example Rise course with a wide and short Storyline "banner" block example.

I once had a request for and interactive Org Chart in Rise. So I built it in SL and made the Slide size very tall and narrow so there was room for all of the levels in the organization.
I would agree with Jonathan. (as one should, since he is pretty smart).
4x3 on a computer screen screams "old" It's only legitimate purpose I can see would be if you were publishing for IPAD distribution, since the standard Ipad is 4x3.
I would say that every course and template we build for customers is either 1280x720 or 1920x1080 depending on their need or requests. (Or the portrait versions of those for Mobile.)
The default 16x9 will work, but there is more scaling. If I am creating a training using the Screen Recording option, I want as little scaling as possible, so 1920x 1080 (or the actual screen size)
You can make any size your default.
1920x1080 used to have an issue if you were using Markers - they were extremely small icons on that size screen, but now that you can resize Markers, that is no longer an issue.
