The short story is that I recently upgraded my phone from a Sony Xperia compact to an Xperia XZ1. Now the new phone has a larger screen so I wasn't expecting any resolution issues, but the SkyDemon icon for the menu obscures the ground speed indication as per this screen shot: I can't find anything in the application configuration allowing me to reduce the screen resolution, nor in Android itself. SkyDemon appears to be the only app I use which is affected. It's kind of frustrating as ground speed is something I'm normally always keeping an eye on. Would anyone have any suggestions as to how to resolve this please? Many thanks, Darren Edited 11/25/2018 11:01:03 AM by DarrenL

The new device has a larger screen and a higher resolution. However, UI elements are drawn bigger, so parts of the UI are obstructed. Would be nice if I was able to reduce the font size slightly to fix that.

I had exactly the same instruments active on my old Sony which had a smaller screen without the Skydemon logo menu button obscuring anything (that button was further down the screen). Another thing that helped is that I noticed that I can change the instrument text size within a range or -0.8 to +1.4 with the lower end of the range almost making the instruments visible. Perhaps in a future release it might be possible to extend that range? Cheers Edited 12/5/2018 1:49:55 PM by DarrenL
