Hello,

Thanks

My app use a lot of controls, so i think the fullscreenmode is more easy (and fast) to adapt the app to the screen, except that we cannot get the real rect of the stack.

But i found i can get the « real » top and bottom with : round((item 4 of the screenrect*the systemscale)/2)-theight // +theight (for the bottom)
where theight is the height of my stack before fullscreenmode.
