At one point, it was required that forms be the full width of the screen and reach all the way to the bottom of the screen. Or, at least, it was said to be required.
But I've noticed on my Tungsten T3 that most of the built-in applications do not adhere to these restrictions, especially when the input area is hidden.
When were the restrictions lifted?
The restrictions are still there; it was mainly to support the simple redraw routine used for repainting forms when the topmost form was erased. Devices with dynamic input areas have to use a more complex routine, but it is still encouraged that you adjust your dialogs to be bottom justified for the current screen. If you don't move your dialogs, you should leave them aligned on the 160x160 screen -- that should work OK.
