Can we please make the Traffic Radar window re-sizeable (on tablets)?

On Phones (e.g, iPhone) the Traffic Radar window can only be either full-screen, or fully off. On tablets on the other hand (iPad mini and larger), the Traffic Radar window is part of the Virtual Radar. It can be toggled between "very small" and a bit larger, but there is no option to have the Traffic Radar full screen.

Even if one could make the Traffic Radar full screen, this wouldn't work for many of us as we still very much need the Red/Yellow/Green alert rings representing bearingless TPX-C targets (which are exclusively displayed on the map, and cannot be displayed in the Traffic Radar window).

Like me, many pilots seem to start using two devices (e.g., two iPads) to make best use of the wonderful SD Traffic feature (making one tablet a dedicated Traffic display screen). In such scenarios it would be very nice if one could re-size the Traffic Radar window, using the usual 2-finger pinching method to enlarge this object (similar to the Direction Indicate, the virtual CDI, that can be re-sized and moved around on top of the map window).

Grahamb, people have different preferences. What for you is "much better", might not work for others. I fully agree that using a second screen for traffic is ideal. However, if this second screen is an ipad mini or similar, you are again screwed, as you cannot make the traffic radar window big enough. 

So, yes, we would like this to be resizebale. Please note that even if resizeable, you could still use it 'your way'. Having this feature wouldn't do you any harm.
