Good points.

Years ago I created altLayouLib and have used it for work in multiple OS
environments. With it you could set the controls layout behavior based upon
OS. It read the OS and resized/moved controls based upon MacOS, Win32 or
Other.

As far as responsive design goes, it perhaps this approach a proper way to
go. So, for instance one could set different stack resolutions and layout
the controls for each based upon a specific resolution-- and if no
resolution matched, then it defaults to the closest resolution smaller than
the one being used.

Still, seems like a lot of work. I still want to try Tom's approach of
different square cards(or stacks) for both portrait and landscape. I really
 see potential in it and I think it *should* work fine with this latest
altMobileResizer library. The square sizing should also handle most cases
where you want the width of a control to change but not the height.

BTW, just updated it to fix a niggling bug and added a button to it to
check for all images which don't have resizeQuality set to "Good". Just
press the update button to get the latest version. You should reinstall the
library and the OpenStack handlers on any existing projects.
