Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Modern Android smartphones have a high display aspect ratio. In Net, users can currently create a custom type, for example 11 width and 18 height, which fills the screen well (at least in portrait mode).
When wrap-around is enabled, having too many tiles in either axis makes it difficult to see what tile is wrapping to which.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice if users could disable wrap-around only for the longer axis, so in my example, the top and bottom would have borders, while sides would wrap-around.

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
Perhaps adding a 10x16 and 16x10 presets with borders on the long axis could be added.

Thanks!

This issue as written would have to be an upstream change, but maybe this is to some extent just a symptom of not having #237 implemented yet: if you could shift the board as you can on other platforms, you wouldn't need to try to judge what's aligned with what.

oh, didn't know about #237. Having that would indeed be a much better solution. Thanks Chris.

The point about adding rectangular presets would still apply though.
For example, I'm dumb and it took me quite some time of playing 11x11 to figure out I can have a custom configurations like 9x14 :)
