I'm sorry Felix if I have caused a problem.
I have Graves Disease and Chronic Fatigue both conditions have a symptom
called Brain Fog. Sometimes things don't come easily without explanation so
I'd ask you to bear with me.I have spent two days doing what used to take
an hour.
Now to reply to your general gist.
A user should never have to adjust their screen. They buy a screen install
it and use it. PCs and peripheral devices are now PnP and normal users
should never be required to adjust pixels, resolutions, or anything else
for that matter. In essence these things should "just work".
For everyone else to be required to adjust their resolutions so an inch on
your screenshot is an inch on their screen creates work for everyone else
that they would never be required to do in any other, normal usage,
circumstance.
It is beyond reason that we would expect anyone, especially "Windows
refugees", to do such things. We want to attract people to TDE not make
them adjust their screens so they can use a website for TDE.
Mine offers a physical context, a way to see what I see
by scaling the
image
size to its original physical size. Yours provides no
such opportunity, no
way to scale the image in order to see the same perspective presented to
your
eyes.
Sorry but mine offers a "physical context" as well. They are screenshots of
a 29" ultra wide screen with the TDE website on it. I presented 3 shots
from this screen and another 3 from my laptop.
Scaling am image to its physical size? It's a picture of what was on my
screen in its physical size. That is why websites are not made to measure
but rather are made to adjust to the users individual setup.
It does not matter one iota how many lines of text there are what matters
is the screen real estate is used wisely. Having two thirds of a screen
with white space isn't very good usage of screen real estate.
These are so much more wearing on the eye (and
therefore less legible) than
the original.
Sorry, everybody. Drums, the beating of, etc. spring
to mind. I just
_love_
E. Liddell's design. I wish that he designed all
the websites I have to
use
frequently!
Lisi what you see in my pictures, the large screen would not be what
appears on your screen (unless you have a 29" screen)
If you have a small screen, like my laptop, then there would be very
little, if any, noticeable difference.
Take a look at the shots from my laptop and see that there is absolutely
no difference in width for any of it and only 1 text line deference in
height in the menu but not in the rest of the content.
The adjustments make it easier to use on a bigger screen and make no real
difference to smaller screens. That is the beauty of css and using
percentages.
Cheers.
Michael.

Please also find attached the modified (with original css commented out
but
still available) css file.
