It seems that there is alot of free space when this option is checked, for example with a height of 650 there is definitely room for 3 rows of apps, Im not sure if you can do anything about the spacing though it would be nice if you could
Also I was wondering if there was a way to get it to display on top of the screen rather than the bottom, If you recall my windows phone project Keith I was thinking it might be nice if the small screen had 2 things on it in-place of the desktop, Firstly would be the on-screen keyboard, and secondly for the top half would be the metro UI.
Im also looking for a way to keep both of these from minimizing when i attempt to drag a window over (I assume there's a registry value for this feature?)
This might be possible with a script. I'll investigate and keep you posted.
Sorry, quick question for you. When you say you want to "lock them there," do you mean that you just want them (Start screen and on-screen keyboard) to always open in that position? Or are they closing and you need to keep them open all the time?

well Ideally it would open automatically, and stay open at all times, when an app is clicked on the start screen it would open fullscreen on that screen, but when going back to the start screen it would appear the same Heres a screenshot of how it currently looks under perfect conditions The left being the phones screen, the right being the desktop.
I think i might end up doing the keyboard in rainmeter, and overlaying it over the entire desktop, when when you click the keyboard shortcut (front and center) it brings up the keyboard for use. because after testing on a 5' device its quite small as it currently is, and i see no way to adjust it how i need
So basically I want the metro UI to stay open and on the phones screen at all times (unless an app is running on the phone screen, or the desktop tile is explicitly clicked

Update: yea I've decided I'm going to throw rainmeter over the desktop, though I still need a way to stop the metro UI from minimizing when a user tries to drag a window to the phones screen. I'm now back to only the 2 physical screens rather than splitting the phone screen into a virtual one.
