[FAQ-1312] Use on Cellphones (Mobile Layout)

Page Type: DRAFT

OVERVIEW

On cellphones with a small display area, the standard Desktop layout is not usable.

(This is easily done, in effect like switching between tabs.)

METHOD

[FAQ-1311] Basic Layout

The Basic Layout shows a minimial version of the primary display window (description of current transmission and essential controls).
