Cool But there is no option like that in the sdk at this point.  Maybe a
q_invokable via QScreen (
logicalDotsPerInch Y/X ) then also could use something like name from the
same class that can be used to look at the logical dots and say
if ( name === "HDMI" || "VGA" && locicaldotsPerInch <= m_desktopNumber &&
logicaldotsPerInch > = m_phoneNumber ....)
do this //desktop
if ()......


I think something like that would work great it would look atthe type of
cable that is attached to the system and could tell the screensize (inches
not px) and could conform that way.  Though again my ideas are just them
ideas and I have not implanted them nor do they matter.
