Black surround

[AgeBlackItalia]

Hi all

I have an app that is quite small and will therefore be running in a portion of a large screen ( and the whole of a small screen)

Problem I have is that on a large screen the area surrounding the app stays black - it doesn't show the phone background (see attached)

My question :
Is there any way or anything that I can change to let the rest of the phone show whilst my little app is running ?

Hello,

Check out this link. It has a project doing just that. It also has the source code you can download to see how it works.

That works a treat

Now All I have to do is define a panel and load the layout into that

Here goes.

(adddition)

It works on a phone but the emulator doesn't seem to want to handle the transparency :-(
(Oh well - i can live with that)
