The 'scaleFactor' of a stack was implemented for a specific reason - as 
stated in the dictionary:

"Use the scaleFactor property when developing to scale down stacks that 
are larger than the available screen space."

It was neither intended as, nor designed to be used as, a general method 
for scaling stack content which is a somewhat different problem.

Warmest Regards,
