Viewport/screen size options on mobile devices

[Glenn Newell]

Where is the documentation for viewport/screen size/scaling etc. options for mobile devices (iOS and Android)?

As it is, the VNC server screen size is larger than the mobile device screen size, so mobile users only get the upper left corner of the screen and there doesn't seem to be any way to navigate or zoom, etc. to see the full screen or another portion of the screen.

I think it would be preferable to have the full VNC server screen to be scaled into the mobile device screen size (or maybe just the width?). And or the screen should scoll with client side pointer movements.

What are my options, and were to make those changes?

The is astroberry, if that makes a difference.

Currently the VNC server screen is 1920x1080 and there is a Python GUI I need to use that won't work well on a smaller screen resolution (it doesn't scale).

There is none I'm afraid.

The static scaling mode in the GUI settings should work fine, didn't you
try that? These settings are found by pressing the cogwheel in the
taskbar of noVNC.

Dynamic zooming isn't supported yet.

If you prefer to keep the size of the remote screen you should be able
to use "Viewport drag" (the hand icon). When that button is enabled
it lets you click and drag your view of the screen when the local
viewport is smaller than the remote screen.

Viewport drag is only available if "Clip to window" is enabled. It
should always be forced enabled on iOS and Android however.

Lastly you have the "remote resize" mode in the scaling options. That
will, if your VNC server supports it, resize the remote screen to fit
your browser window.

I have no idea what astroberry is, can't say if it makes a difference.
