Do not equalize the size of the camera bounds and the map size, or the camera bounds and the map size must have a big difference. The camera bounds must be smaller by 56-96(recommended) than your map size.

Yes, its in the Scenario => Map Size and Camera Bounds

My map projects are dead already.... Like in my signature, I will revive them after a few months.

i haven't tried it yet, but why does changing the camera bound affect the white border where the current view is.

Because the map boundary extends up to a sky(white area you're referring to) and due to your camera height, you are able to see the area(white area) beyond the map boundary.

my map bound is at 6144 while my camera bound 5888, and the others are mostly on the same number but opposite sign.

but the white line is still visible.

No... What's the size? 256, 196, etc... The number '6144' and '5888' refer to the units in the cartesian plane(your map). Don't refer to those units, "6144 - 5888 = 256' looks like a huge amount but is too small because it is only 256 units in the cartesian plane. I noticed already that you used the per-unit in the cartesian plane because map sizes do not exceed 256.

Or, do you see a shrinking/expanding square illustration while you're adjusting the map size and bounds? Even if the difference is below 56, just look at the illustration if the camera bounds is very near to the map boundary, otherwise adjust and adjust until the white area is not visible.
