Form Factors, Device Tools, Options Dialog Box
This page provides options to specify form factors and their properties in managed device projects.
Each platform has a default form factor, which you can change to suit the needs of your project. For example, you can select whichever screen size and resolution that you must have.
If a project is open when you make changes, the changes do not appear until you close and reopen the designer window.
