<p>Relate the position and size of each screen control to the dimensions of the display. This enables the same set of information to be presented on the screen in all resolutions; higher resolution devices just display finer graphics. However, this layout method works only when the screen aspect ratio is always the same. It does not produce good results when the screen orientation changes. Therefore, scaling should also account for aspect ratio change. </p>

<p>If you want more control on the screen layout for widgets, you can use separate CSS files that are selected for use according to the screen size. For an example, see <a href="GUID-9F3218D9-2BEA-417C-8017-E05AC749BF84.html#GUID-9F3218D9-2BEA-417C-8017-E05AC749BF84">STEW: supporting different screen sizes</a>.</p>

<div><h3>To base the layout on percentage</h3><p> Use the <code>em</code> unit to specify the characteristics of elements in relation to their parent element. For example, the following example specifies that the font size of a first level heading is 100% greater than that of a second level heading, and that the font size of a second level heading is 50% greater than that of a third level heading:</p><pre class="codeblock">h1 {
