why are they different ? I spent a lot of time laying out the dasdboard with a "back" button to go to the MAIN dasdboard, a text panel that defines what the dashboard is and then the devices
on the IOS, the MAIN is off to the right and not on top
You also might want to check out smartly. You can really dress up your dashboard and it also adds drag and drop so you can easily get everything looking the way you want.
My guess is you have the row and height options at 0 which allows the dashboard to auto adjust to fit/fill the screen. That's about the only thing I can think of that would allow it to move items around like that from one device to another.
