New methods of tile-expansion,
“GRADUAL”. Gradual expansion tries to
reduce the big shift of the tile position and
size. The old “AUTO” method is now
called “MAXIMUM”. In the
“MAXIMUM” mode it will always use the
available display space to display the largest
tile size possible and positions the remaining
tiles in the center of the display.
The new “AUTO” setting is different
from the previous release. In the new
“AUTO” setting, “MAXIMUM”
mode will be used initially until a reasonable
tile size has been reached where it will then
switch to “GRADUAL” mode.
