<div dir="ltr">That's what I was afraid of. I'm liking Xiphos on my PC, and I am still hoping I can use the same dot file and so on on the phone.

It does help. The Xiphos version available for Debian Arm is 4.2.1 (gtk3 webkit2). The version I'm using on Mint on my PC is 4.0.7 (gtk3 webkit1). Is there a way to turn off the bar at the bottom which does nothing but say ``Welcome to Xiphos''? Getting that off would help in landscape mode.</div><div><br></div><div>I noticed a passing mention in the documentation about using cascading style sheets.

<font face="FreeSerif">The short answer is that you probably can't.<br>
<br>
The long answer is that we have had requests since The Dawn Of
Net.Time for re-arrangements of Xiphos' main window to fit smaller
and smaller and yet ever smaller screens, and the current truly
minimalist size limits are <i>still</i> not small enough for some
folks.<br>
<br>
The deeper problem is that Xiphos is a full-featured, heavyweight,
massive resource occupation kind of application, and it was never
envisioned as an app that anybody would want to use on a phone. It
pre-dates the invention of the smartphone by about 7 years. There
simply isn't a sensible way to look at its expected usage pattern
-- Bible + commentary + dictionary + tab-separated collections of
all these</font><font face="FreeSerif"><font face="FreeSerif"> +
sidebar + menubar</font>, all visible at once -- and shoehorn it
into a phone-sized screen. Xiphos works well in the environment of
a normal display where there is legitimately large real estate
with which to work, where all that real estate and all those
resources are usable together.<br>
<br>
Your one possible saving throw is that you can turn off the
sidebar entirely from the View menu.<br>
