Many apps are "shrinked" on the peak

[Morten Olsen Lysgaard]

Hi, I'm now using peak as my day to day phone to
get a better understandig of how the platform feels.
I have the peak and I've noticed that many of the apps
have really small icon sizes. Some even run in a small
box at the top of the screen. I'm struggelig to understand why
the apps don't scale to the full screen of the peak.
They look nice in the Firefox OS simulator.

Is the peak not reporting the correct screen size or DPI to Gaia?
Doesn't Gaia support the screen size that the peak runs?

This really hurts usability and it affects almost all the apps
I've found on the Market. It also affects the stock notes app.
Anyone here with knowledge of why apps seem to scale incollectly
and is there a general way to solve it or is it the induvidual apps
that are the problem?

I hope this gets answered. I've become very interested in scalability, adaptive, and responsive web design and think it is important that everything run on everything and look nice :-)

I still don't have a Peak, but I think Firefox OS has to be scalable as much as possible. Seems like an easy thing to test, at least visually.

I'm open to either solution: make apps solve the problem or make the OS do it. But it might be better to have the app do the adapting because they can measure the real estate and shuffle things around to suit. Especially on Firefox OS phones, which by their budgetary nature, might be on the small side.

Nightly (http://downloads.geeksphone.com) already does this a lot better, but we're not done with it yet. The simple fact is that the first batches of devices will all run at the same resolution so this doesn't get the most attention unfortunately.
