As is - itsit's unclear what the question is. And without testable or at least sharable examples itsit's pretty hard to ask a clear question.

You can certainly ask a question in the context of the software if you're willing to mention it.

"I'm trying to run the retroencrombulator application on a desktop and a tablet. For some reason the tablet version shows a more condensed, useful UI, while the desktop application looks like a bit of a mess. add screenshots of UI, specifications of systems and so on How do I use the tablet UI on a desktop?" or vice versa would work.

So, you have a specific problem, and aan end goal. This works.

Maybe just maybe you might be able to get away with asking how to detect whether a system is a tablet or desktop and/or how to fake it.

As is, though, there's not enough information to tell if it would be a good question.
