Use fullscreen option in tango/foxtrot then you save the "X" space.

You can play with various settings. They can be activated from menu when you stand on the TangoGPS item. If you choose to use matchbox window manager all should be ok.

tangogps and qtmoko
hi, i have the latest qtmoko (35) installed on my freerunner. i also have tanggogps installed, used via QX. the problem is, when i run tango, it only uses 3/4 of the screen then, if i hit 'info' to show the config, etc., that takes up around a 1/3 of the screen, and can't be closed, plus i can't read all the info on the different tabs. i've tried 'rotate screen' in the qx setup for tango, but it doesn't rotate or make any difference at all. any suggestions? cheers -- robin http://bumblepuppy.org/blog/?p=237 - government bill to remove basic human rights in NZ ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
