Hi, when my app starts in landscape all components are on the left side, both live test and apk (like if I have half screen). ![Screenshot_20250414-022404](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/b/bb9706580cc2eebcefdc14dd0ddc44d305e669ac.png) If I update my editor (with some changes in the components) the app come back to the right view . ![Screenshot_20250414-022506](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/e/2edcc46f731d818f5d840b2c3038f7114d87c970.png) If I come back to the list of all projects and start with a new live test, again wrong view. In project settings I haven’t the fild to set the orientation This is the [link](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/be40a311dfc34fa968ed570963cb8470) to the App Thanks ---

Hello @Goldking Here is the project orientation on the project settings: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/5/9502aa55511a332afc6571199e1fe00758fc05dd.png) In our docs you can find more information: [https://docs.thunkable.com/settings/project-settings#default-app-layout](https://docs.thunkable.com/settings/project-settings#default-app-layout) ---

Yes I find it on the community but > [@Goldking](#): > > In project settings I haven’t the fild to set the orientation I don’t know why. It worked good , the project is very simple, but when I installed the apk I noticed the incorrect positioning. From that moment even in live test it started to look bad as I described above ---

In landscape mode, does it move to the top automatically? Maybe what you want to do is select your **screen component** and centralize it somehow. This should probably make it stay in the middle, no matter the orientation. ---

I don’t normally use Snap to Place, but is there a block available that can detect your orientation? I have a plan that might work if it’s there. ---

I don’t know I have to verify. But this project will work with a fixed monitor and an external device (not smartphone) that run android . So it hasn’t an accelerometer ---

This type of thing is casually annoying, like when the buttons just bunch up when I use the keyboard (on my phone). Sorry for my late response, but you may want to _ **privately communicate** _ with Thunkable moderators and staff. ---
