Or... the ability to select a "dimmed/inactive" control page!!
I've considered that... however, if I load another control page up there the system/application will see that it is no longer the active screen and stop updates in the "covered" page -- and the idea was that this is just a dimmed screen that is immediately ready for re-use. What you are describing is basically a "reset to XYZ screen on inactivity". Unless, of course, this cover CP doesn't respond to user input and disappears on click similar to the current dimming cover. Still, I think that might get a bit complicated to implement properly.
I am mixed on what would be the best -- in a way a "return to home control page" would be cool because it could reset to the most appropriate control page for the tablet's location. Then could still dim I suppose to save the screen.
In the video, it was 1024x600, which is the dimensions of the 7" Fires, but the video was of the 8" Fire which is 1280x800. Changing the dimensions to match the 8" didn't really seem to matter much. It did shift the item down some toward the middle, but only the Web view displays it correctly in the middle on both the 7" and 8" Fires, as well as the 24" in-wall HP, which is 1920x1280.
That somewhat eliminates one potential I was thinking which was a different zoom method being applied in web versus native view. Still possible, though, and I will look into that with the snippet you sent -- thanks!
