Good to have a screenshot to state the problem

The problem is related to how page scrolling work.

In landscape non-fullscreen mode , the window size is 800x350. However , scrolling will not move across the whole page. For example , if you move right , the window will only shift 770 pixel instead of 800 pixel.

Because if you move across the whole page , you will not see previous written content. The newly writing content may not be aligned with previous one. Unless it is changed to move the whole page , the problem can not be solved. (Or I should remove the red line?)

Maybe it's easier for you to set Penpen up so that left sided markings (margin, checkbox) only render vertically from the opening page ?

Users who want to use a margin might find it easier to scroll around or view the export image of a note that has only one margin, rather than multiple ones.
Let's me explain about how background works first. It is controlled by 4 parameters.

1) Background color
2) Background image
3) Repeat draw on x-axis
4) Repeat draw on y-axis

The lines and grid template set (3) and (4) to true , so it will draw on the whole page , you will see those lines in any direction. However , check list template only set (4) , so you won't see other checkbox on left/right direction

The reason for not set (4) is simple , I don't expect people will write extra check item in left/right direction. Do you think that it is really needed?

i mean like Sticky Notes, it will be nice to have small page (like Sticky Notes) where we can draw directly without need to open the program.
hmmm.. I don't have any plan to write desktop widget (may be becoz I don't really use desktop widget...). But I have started a subproject of PenPen , it is called as libpenpen, which allow other people to embed hand writing area in their application. So if anybody are interested, they could take the library to develop it.
