Orientation (default is 'Auto')
Hide tab if only one left (recommended)
Hide address bar after page load (recommended)
Full screen (recommended)
Always on (recommended. If not checked, screen will be off according to system settings)
New page zoom scale (1.5 for high resolution screens (Droid, Nexus...), 1 for normal resolution)
Layout (default 'Fit screen if possible'. This will cause reflowing of text though)
Viewport (tricky one. If use Wide, all sites will render correctly but not nicely fit in one column.)
User agent (default is 'Android'. However it can be set as iPhone or Computer. To visit non-mobile version of websites, try 'Computer')
Auto clear cache on [Exit] (recommended. The xScope app is very small, about 300K. But as you visit more and more webs, the cache size grows. It is a good idea to clear cache once in a while for better performance)
