Brother shows off a good use case. Zeus is just fun

Oh weird. It wasn't there before but now it is!

I don't see the navigation bar to navigate through the images with my browser in a portrait aspect ratio. Works fine in a landscape ratio though.

Are you writing the image .px files by hand or generating them from another program, like Illustrator or something?
