The live VP "Instrument" is too small to see easily on my tablet. Especially if iFly incorporates my diamond destination icon (or later, a similar icon for MCA waypoints).

Yes, I know I can click on the VP Instrument and make it larger.

But that ful size window is almost too large and can't be resized down.

It takes up a lot of the map and I don't leave it expanded often for that reason. (You know, if you got rid of the title bar (don't need the X, since you have a "Done" button), and then changed the "Zoom In" text, etc. to icons, along with a Drag Icon, you could shrink the size the window without taking away from the actual image.)

So what I'd like is one more size toggle on the VP Instrument. I realize that the designers tried to make its height only as high as the buttons. But I'd like one more size that's 1.5x the size of the buttons. See my art work with a before (top) and after (bottom) to see what I'm talking about.
