The last couple of release of 3.0 have included Auto Button Re sizing which allows for different screen sizes. This seems to be optimized for iTouch or iPhone use.

I use iPads (Air and Mini) as my remote control and spent many hours making the layout look professional as well as functional.

The layout for my of my simpler activities used to look like this

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="384"]<img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/65203777/no%20autosize.jpg" alt="Original Button Layout" width="384" height="512" /> Original Button Layout[/caption]

And now it looks like this

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="384"]<img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/65203777/Auto%20Size%20New.jpg" alt="New Auto Size" width="384" height="512" /> New Layout with Auto Resize[/caption]

The Auto sizing function is useful for different screens, however the left column buttons grow, what looks like an extra button appears on the right and the buttons in the middle stay the same.

To further illustrate the challenge with layouts, this is another screenshot

&nbsp;

And then with the same layout but with the top bar disabled - the buttons change size

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="384"]<img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/65203777/no%20Top%20Bar%20New.jpg" alt="Top Bar Disabled" width="384" height="512" /> Inconsistent Button Size Behavior[/caption]

&nbsp;

Please provide some options to control the sizing of buttons so the screens can be functional as well as having some style

Also using Roomie mainly on an iPad and an option for disabling auto resize would be really great.
