Update XH2 to adapt to different screen sizes

Currently, Access for Web has 2 instance types. mobile and normal. Mobile is tailored for mobile devices (phones, tablets. etc), while the normal one is supposed to be used by normal browsers running a PCs.
The problem lies in that the HTML/CSS combination used by XH2 doesn't scale according to the browser/screen size. The effect is that the 5250 emulator screen usually occupies between 25% and 35% of the screen when used in 1920x1080 or 1333x768. I haven't tried on 4k monitors but I assume it would be worse.
One solution presented by IBM support is to zoom the browser tab. Another is to modify the HTML/CSS to hardcode a bigger font size for the emulator area.
This request is for the XH2 product to be enhanced in such a way as to allow itself to resize the pages according to the browser's resolution.


Use Case:

Any case where XH2 Access for Web is used on a PC environment will benefit from this request. Especially those with modern hi-resolution monitors that are, nowadays, becoming commonplace.
