Suggestion: Reduce white space between messages.
bazbt3 opened this issue · 8 comments
Could you please consider reducing the amount of white space, initially between messages, maybe elsewhere later?
Why? On a 1900 x 1200 (24"/61cm) display with default browser zoom there are:
- Only 6 rows visible when arriving at the page (i.e. with the post dialogue visible.)
- A maximum of around 8.5 rows scrolled down the list.
(FYI my 14" laptop at home though has half the totals.)
This may have 2 positive benefits:
- More posts onscreen.
- It may be better to visually indicate a difference between JVI Alpha and ADN Alpha - e.g. to ensure that editing account info is seen to be done in a separate site.
Suggestions:
- Compress the space between window title and post dialogue.
- Compress the space both sides of the lines dividing posts.
- The post status line is currently always below the avatar, even for a single-line post (may require lots work to achieve minimal benefits.)
Thanks for reading!
Hey @bazbt3. Can you explain "The post status line is currently always below the avatar, even for a single-line post (may require lots work to achieve minimal benefits.)"? The post status line is the "2w - Reply via AlphaRevive_Local" thing (as shown below)?
Hiya!
You're exactly right - and I consider it a massive waste. It's 'clean' alright but trying to achieve a uniform row height is a bit daft when you consider most people have to scroll ridiculous numbers of messages daily.
The minimal benefits/work tradeoff refers to my relative lack of experience with CSS/modern screen layout tools. ;)
Now, was I right to raise the issue at GitHub or would you have preferred email?

Barrie,
I get what you mean now and will have a look to see what I can do.
Cheers.

Hmmm… my replying via email seems to have cluttered up the comments, sorry. Trying CodeHub on iPhone now.
Thanks for taking this seriously. :)
Worked well for me ;P
I'm just very good at pretending to take you seriously! ;)

If it breaks or others complain, don't come running to me or point fingers. If it's universally approved then yeah, you can have more things to do. :)
could you make that a new issue please? cheers Baz
