Widget size and placement upon opening of widget.

Within the config.xml file we can set the position on the screen where the widget opens. How do you take into account monitor size? For example: I build a Flex Viewer application based on a 27??? monitor, deploy the application.
Then users with a 19??? monitor can???t see some of the widget when they open. Any way to preserve the layout. absolute vs. relative?

The size of the monitor is not the real issue, but rather the screen display resolution (how many pixels). Still the basic problem is the same 🙂

The do-nothing-solution: If you don't set the top/left etc at all in the configuration file the values, then the viewer will attempt to find reasonable places for the widgets.

You could also specify left=... for the leftmost widgets, right=... for the rightmost widgets but still that is only a partial solution/cover-up.

The ability for the Viewer to scale dynamically to fit a user's screen is highly desirable.

The config should accept width ="100%" and not just absolute sizes.
