Which version was that method removed in? Can you link to the commit that removed it?

[akien-mga]

The black bars methods were removed by @reduz in #50040 as part of a general cleanup.
I'm not sure if an alternative is provided via a different API or if it should be reimplemented.

Any plans to re-add this?

It would make sense as part of the Window class, setter/getters for black_bar_bottom, black_bar_top, black_bar_left, black_bar_right. Useful for drawing the game at a lower fixed resolution than the window size.

If you're looking for integer scaling, this is implemented in 4.2: #75784

[API-Beast]

Oh no that's not the problem, you can already set Window.content_scale_factor to integer values in 4.1. The point "black bars", or margins would be to have the aspect ratio of the viewport be different than the aspect ratio of the screen. (Since you can't control the size of the window, for example when in fullscreen.)
