I only set the fullscreenmode to letterbox on android. I only have to do
the bare minimum on iOS for it to display correctly.

So, starting with a 320x460 stack

For iOSŠ

put item 4 of the working screenrect into tB
set the bottom of grp "btnBar" to tB
‹ do any other geometry related stuff here



For AndroidŠ

Set the fullscreenmode to letterbox
put the working screenrect into tWR
      put (item 4 of tWR)/(item 3 of tWR) into tAspectRatio
put 10*(trunc (tAspectRatio*320/10)) into tB
      set the height of this stack to tB
set the bottom of grp "btnBar" to tB
‹ do any other geometry related stuff here
