Would it be possible to have a setting to turn off the header and footer on the LiveView app? It’s really making it hard for me to size things and I’m not sure what the value is for these sections. ---

Please describe.\*\* > Previewing m…y apps on Thunkable Live on my very small phone is less useful because the app returns the full phone's screen height, but much of that height isn't actually available. So calculations that use the screen height block work strangely in Live, because the screen functionally is a LOT shorter than the block reports. It's especially bad on small phones, where the header and footer eat nearly 20% of screen height. > > \*\*Describe the solution you'd like\*\* > Have the screen height block report the ACTUAL pixels available between the Thunkable Live header and footer. > > \*\*Describe alternatives you've considered\*\* > Downloading.

From a technical perspective, the answer to almost of these questions is “yes”, however from a policy perspective we’re not in a position to do this as Apple have a rule which prohibits us from using 100% of the screen. Cathy’s Github issue is slightly different, but is definitely something that we can look into ---

I didn’t realize this was an Apple thing. Why would they have a problem with this? ---

Probably best to ask Apple that question. ---
