Hi everyone,

I'm using Skritter on my iPad, and I don't like that the window is so big and that i have to draw huge characters. I remember, it was possible to use Skritter in the IPhone size, meaning that there was a little writing box in the middle of the screen. Can anyone help me how to do that again? I changed my iPad and can't remember anymore.

Thanks!

I'm just guessing, but I think that you might have used the iPhone app on your iPad before the native iPad app was released.

I would guess that as well.

This was posted by another user, achromatize, explaining how to use the iPhone app on an iPad:

"If your iPad is jailbroken and you're willing to put in the money for it you can force the iPad to display a compatible iPhone version, allowing you to use the dark theme.

You need "iFile" and "Retina iPad"

In iFile, open the Skritter app (it's under applications, and then has a long code name), then open the file "info.plist" Towards the bottom there's two lines that read
"(integer)1(/integer)"
"(integer)2(/integer)"

Change the "2" to a "3" or delete the entire line if you like. "2" is the code for iPad compatibility, so if you respring your device it will assume Skritter cannot run as an iPad device and will then display the iPhone version.

Retina iPad forces higher-resolution (2x) images for iPhone software on iPads, but in this case it forces all textures for the program to be used from the iPhone version. If you don't also have this program, Skritter doesn't format the screen properly and you end up with an unusable program.

If you don't like the layout you can always either add back in the "2" line of code in info.plist or reinstall Skritter."

It's a shame the app is universal, instead of having separate iPhone and iPad apps, which would have made it a lot easier to run the much better iPhone app on the iPad.

I also would like to have a smaller version of the app on my ipad, it gets quite tiring.

I like to use the ipad app, it's has a great feeling and looks nice!
But I guess I don't spend more than half an hour in a stretch.
