I have done all of this resizing and layout stuff before. I just ignored the grouchy user with the hate over me wanting screensize. (every list has one of those types, eh? :-) Screensize, in part, determines the aspect ratio calcs to dynamically resize and place the components on the screen. Anyway, I'm pushing on to do this under python. With, or without, Mr. Grouchy. Igor --- I think you asked why for portrait vs landscape? It is so that when the user flips a phone or tablet to the side (landscape), or straight up/down (portrait) that the widgets can be dynamically resized & re-positioned to fit. In actionscript a RESIZE event fires when flipping to the side or back, that can then be reacted to, to reposition things. I just need to re-figure this all out under Python, et al.
