It doesnt work that size for phones. So I think some more re-sizing is needed.

Sounds like a good idea... but at the same time, people with tablets or bluestacks would be able to have more on screen. So there would need to be a set screen layout, but make the items movable.

I like some of the ideas on here ,... unfortunately there's one really awkward thing in the way that needs to be supported - Does it work when you have a 320x240 screen?

- That's the lowest screen size that the app currently works with, and needs to be able to function with - not everyone has the same screen dimensions, and the really fun part is trying to fit all the important controls in such a way that the following criteria are met:

* No-one has an advantage with extra controls visible that others don't have due to screen size (screen size is ignored as an advantage in itself)

* The important/core controls are visible on the screen at all times

My design was set up based on a 480x560 (I think.) But the overall feel is still the same basic design so it should convert to smaller phones, just replace my circular status bar with a classic three tier bar and adopt donum's "over the target" health bar. Then stretch the chat window to the left and bring the bottom up to free up more space.

As far as keeping larger screens from obtaining more on screen functions just don't allow the option, if the design is standard with no ability to alter it then the screen size doesn't matter.

I agree that it should be the same on every screen. I was using Bluestacks for mine, though I also play on my phone, which has a screen larger than average. The movement controls are way too close to the settings when I have them dropped down. I think the icons could be a tad smaller.

If Icons were to re-size based on screen size, I think that would be the best solution.
