Bottom softbar blocking java apps

For some reason, and this is only after I upgraded to kavana's 6.1 ROM, a few java apps are being cut off by the bottom bar. The first two I've noticed so far as jmIRC and Virca. The text is cut off by the bottom softbar and is not visable until other people (or yourself) types about 4 more lines of text. This is really annoying and makes the app pretty much unusable since you can't see what people are typing until other people start typing things as well. I'll see if I can upload a screenshot from my phone sometime today.

I have a similar issue with the GMail application. When I try to use the options, the bottom softbar blocks the pop up windows for commands, and I'm unable to use it properly.

Here is the picture of my screen when trying to use the app. There is probably 3 or 4 more lines of text that you cannot see for the bottom bar.

I noticed you were using that crappy irc client, i reccomend zsIrc, google it and get the zip not the cab, as the cab won't install, also its for ppc so ya can't set anything up in the menus, but there is a .ini file that is fairly simple to edit and set up all your settings..
good luck.

It's to do with the version of jbed on the phone there is a thread about Google Java app that says about this

Twitodo

hey guys
I'm kinda new to programming, done a bit at college and now and then i read up about it at home but i know the very basic skills. anyways i thought i would test myself and see i could come up with an idea for an app.
its not a windows mobile app but i suppose in a way its for developers (can save progress of development and tweet it to followers). the app is called twitodo and it basically saves a todo list to a txt file in the install directory. it can also open a text file from a custom directory. it can also tweet the todo list to your twitter account and you have the option to view twitter in a browser window.
the ui is ok i suppose but it could be alot nicer.. would apreciate it if someone could do a few graphics for me. also if anyone has a link to a good guide for making installers because im not sure that my program install correctly, i think you may have to run it from the program files directory.
anyways feedback will be apreciated very much, anything i can add or remove at all just leave below please i really wanna make this app better, but go easy its my first program unless you count "hello world" then its my second lol.
EDIT:
Changes:
permissions to write file at startup fixed (moved TodoList.txt default location)
fixed crash when user doesnt select a file in load todo list window
Attached Files Updates!

just thort id put a pic of the ui on so u can see what it looks like

What do you mean with "install"? You just have to copy them to your application in Visual Studio or Blend to use them!

Save Images

Today I have found out that you can save images with the Kin. What you have to do, is double tap the image (it might zoom in sometimes, 2nd time should work). After double tapping the image, it will come up with popup saying "save image". When you save an image, it gets saved into your camera app just like a screenshot. Enjoy!

P.S. using that pic as my lock screen, fits well.

Yes, but doesnt work with "hacking" purposes as the browser yells about the image not being loadable.
Long time .

Yeah, but its still nice to know that this phone can do that. I though it couldn't. Just educating other users.

hmm... this seems like it could be exploitable. have we tried this yet?
edit: anybody know the inner workings of image files? i'll look it up later but i have homework to do right now...

oh... my bad.

Use Nexus as a monitor (kind of)

I know you can use the N7 as a second monitor or even a PC itself. I wanted to ask a question slightly more out there.
Is / would it be possible to output system (PC) stats to display on the N7? I have a Logitec G15 v1 keyboard that has the LCD screen on it that runs little apps on it. My N7 can sit right up over the top of it and act as a bigger and better screen. I would like to know if it was doable to run an apk to display those programs, or something like it pulling info from the PC along with maybe some other useful PC info. Kind of like running RainMeter but instead of on the PC have it display everything on the android via Blutooth, USB, or WiFi?

The things you mentioned are definitely doable, hell, the sky is the limit. It's another matter of who will make these apps.

Figured I would update this because I found what I was looking for and if there is anyone else wanting something like it, here you go:
This app has everything I wanted and more. Its perfect. And its FREE!

Just for the sake of archives: you can use the Nexus 7 as a secondary monitor of a Linux by using VNC. http://askubuntu.com/questions/28608/how-do-you-use-an-android-tablet-as-a-second-display

You can do something like that in Windows too and there is plenty of info on that already, but what I was looking for was live system stats. Not an actual secondary monitor. I wanted to be able to keep an eye on CPU/GPU temps and fan speed along with other stats.
