Here is what im talking about.

In the Screenshot you can see that at least half of the Screen is not used.
My question is whether or not it is possible to adjust the text, timer or the picture so that a larger part of your Screen is being used to make it more immersive. Is that a feature that can be implemented in future teases? I dont know a lot about the EOS Editor etc. so I apologize if that question is stupid :)
I've used paint in the second picture so you get the point.

So I also don't know anything about the mechanics of this kind of change, but I totally agree with your point. This would be a great way to improve the system.

Sure, but how would it transition between landscape and portrait pictures? Fly over or just snap there?
I mean, humans walking upright has always been an issue with photography and pc monitors. It sure is annoying.
Some teases use random images. When the image can have both orientations, it will be more difficult for authors to get the formatting right.
Buttons appearing on inconsistent locations is something I, personally, despise as a user.
I'm not against it, but it's not that easy. I doubt seraph0x hasn't thought about this himself.

Sorry for the late reply, but I ran across your question while looking for something else.
There are examples of more advanced layouts in Flash teases shown in the
Nyx Tips and Tricks thread. You can wrap things in "horizontal" and "vertical" options to change the layout.
See the first post in that thread, and also
this one.
You'll have to experiment and see what you can achieve.
EOS is more limited in it's layout options as it's designed to be more portable across different devices (desktop/laptop/phone/tablet etc)
