It is certainly overkill, but I decided to make the values settable for each direction individually. Since you seem the only one interested in this function, you may choose the default settings for the Aura if you like:

Code:
ksmGeometryValuesN=550x750+0+24
ksmGeometryValuesS=
ksmGeometryValuesE=
ksmGeometryValuesW=

My idea for image viewing with the message-application was something like this:
Spoiler:
Most of my pictures on the reader are in portrait format. Therefore, for the case that the reader is in portrait mode, I set the width a little smaller than the width of the reader to prevent horizontal overflow. For most of these images this will also prevent vertical overflow. For the case that the reader is in landscape mode, I set again the width of the images a little smaller than the width of the reader. This however will almost certainly produce a vertical overflow. For a greater part of portrait oriented images the overflow will be a third or so, or even more. Since by tapping on the right or left part of the screen one can page up and down (the main purpose of this application was to display text messages), it is easy to navigate vertically through the image. My idea was this: In normal, that means portrait mode, I see as a whole images, and if I want to see more details I change to landscape mode. And now comes the important point: The possibility to page up and down is closely connected with the presence of the vertical scroll bar.
Anyway, this was an emergency solution. Kind of poor man's zoom. I was on a long trip and had only a text editor as a tool with me to make changes to the KSM, and needed to view maps on the reader. I think that I will try to find another way to display images.
