> [@Chris\_Bingham](#): > > t does it well. You really should start here if you’re able (to install 3rd party modules). That makes sense. I’ve now separated the desktop/tablet and mobile layouts using a Breakpoint Container. The issue is that in the smaller breakpoint, some Perspective components can only be scaled down so far before becoming unusable or getting cut off, as shown in the image. SVGs seem to scale perfectly, but is there another way to scale standard Perspective components proportionally without introducing scrollbars or clipping? ![WhatsApp Image 2026-10-04 at 19.01.18](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/5/257f6b7323644cd681c11e5de2740a6ca86f2ee5.jpeg) ---

I’ll look into the possibility of getting the third-party module installed and test the Pan and Zoom component. Thanks for the recommendation. ---

Looks like it's the text. Text scaling in vanilla Perspective is far from a solved problem, here's one recent-ish discussion with some ideas: > [@Useful CSS Stuff](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/useful-css-stuff/95414/65): > > I looked into this again briefly. A comment, you need to set a parent “container” to be a container for this to work. If you don’t, the page container is used and the units don’t behave any different to vh and vw. E.g. However, as I suspected, using these units and always setting the container to be the embedded view or the parent container (flex/coord/etc) will result in a vast array of differing font sizes, since it’s based on the size of the container (embedded view / flex conta… ---

This seems really useful and very relevant to the issue I’m having. I’ll definitely test this approach with the text scaling. Really appreciate you pointing me in this direction thank you! ---

Just a quick update- I managed to resolve most of the scaling issues using CSS `clamp()` for responsive text, Flex Containers wherever possible, and Breakpoint Containers for different screen sizes. The desktop and laptop layouts are now working well. However, I'm still facing an issue with mobile orientation. My mobile dashboard uses a 9:16 aspect ratio, which works well in portrait, but in landscape it shrinks instead of expanding to use the available space. Changing to 16:9 stretches the components and distorts the layout. Is there a way to make the entire dashboard scale proportionally in both orientations while preserving the component sizes, positions, and aspect ratios, without having to maintain separate portrait and landscape layouts?
