I would like to present a "form" on the iPhone, and am having trouble making it
"fit" the screen. All I can get is a large web page with a small area of the form.
Setting the desktop and form doesn't seem to reduce the actual overall area of the
"page". I set the desktop to a blue colour, but the background shown is "white".

From the help, the TApplication is the highest level, and the desktop the visual
container. The desktop width is controllable (if I set it to 250 pixels, with the
form at 200 pixels, I see a blue line either side of the form on the iPhone), but I
can't see how to control the "browser" width. The theme doesn't seem to have any
part in this.

Is there a way? I just want the controls to be "full size" on the iPhone as though
I've double-tapped them. Clues welcome. 8-)

There are two issues with mobile, at the present:

1) EWB does not set the "viewport" meta tag in the loader HTML:

2) The font sizes for the default theme are pretty small still, and so a
different them is required without forcing the user to keep zooming in.

Both will be addressed ASAP.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
