Need ability to set height of simulator area

[eanders-ms]

For my pxt target (bot framework), the intention is to host a chat control in the simulator area for interfacing with the bot. The simulator area is a fixed size, but currently too small vertically to host a usable chat control. One solution would be to provide the ability to change the height of the simulator.

How about a custom .css file that would allow you to override the style?

That should work. I think the width is ok as-is.

For my purposes I would love to be able to make it wider as well, and also would love to be able to scale down the blocks and the width of the block toolbar.

With custom CSS, you'll be able to override everything on the page. You will have to deal with the various screen sizes though.

That's fine, pxt-phaser is really optimized for a desktop Scratch-like experience, at least in my initial optimization target.

You can specify the aspectRatio in the runtime field in pxtarget.json. See the pxt-samples.
