Kiosk mode - centering layout on screen

[apu]

Q 1 of 2 re: kiosk mode...

I have a solution I'm working on that has six related databases in it that I am trying to get to work in Kiosk mode. I followed the Dev. Guide's suggestion of using "Toggle Window [Zoom]" to get the layout to center on the screen. Works well for form layouts. But for list layouts I get the layout aligned in the top left corner of the screen, at full screen height.

The bouncing between different size and position screens is annoying to me. I can only imagine how a user would feel.

Any thoughts?

Do not use the Toggle Window[Zoom] when switching to list view and your layout will stay the same size and in the same position.
