Along a similar line, I tend to never use my browsers full screen or full width on desktops but adjust the window size to whatever suits me for comfort of reading. I'm not sure — but I'm rather from old school surely — that it is in the hyper-text original concepts to impose a reading width on me. In my book, the purpose of a technical hyper-text as sqlite.org is to provide content, and leave the overall formatting of this the viewer (the user and his/her browser). I welcome the changes made on the draft site, because things set to display sideways on larger displays are configured to display in-line (like menus of shortcuts) when using a (much) smaller screen. That is positive. As well reducing the margins on text on those small displays is just fine. Going farther by imposing a maximum line width on larger displays, especially if expressing this using such a weird unit as pixels, doesn't feel right for sqlite.org content. I wouldn't say the same for the a marketing website, heavily built of highly graphical content. -- Meilleures salutations, Met vriendelijke groeten, Best Regards, Olivier Mascia, integral.be/om _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
