To be clear, regardless of the glitch, when there's only a small amount of the sun showing, the fact that it blends into the white of the other div means that when it happens to be at a size like that, it's not clearly a sun or anything and just seems very weird like "why is there a little pulsing bump on the border??" My inclination is to remove the sun entirely from the project page. >> Overall, on my very standard resolution of 1366x768 screen (see >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_resolutions — this >> is called "standardized HDTV 720p/1080i display… used in most >> cheaper notebooks", i.e. it is extremely common) things are >> still substantially too big.

That said, the more I look at this, the more convinced I am that the smallest font-size (that used for "matching" and "project total" and "Projects > Software > " etc.) is actually too small even at full size. It's just *barely* readable as is. I actually think we should up the size of that smallest font generally. As for the overall thing about being too tall, mainly the issue is the size of the image/screenshot. Other things about the design are all really a bit too vertical and tall. The space between the navbar and the pledge button is taller than needed. I really think basically the design needs to be adjusted to consider having a good comfortable amount of stuff showing within the first about 525px below the navbar. And this should not be done by shrinking everything, as the smallest font is already too small, and the spacing width-wise is good and should not be made any smaller at all. More padding on the sides isn't desirable. On an important side note: I feel pretty strongly that we should not have hard boxes for "software" or whatever other project categories. A project shouldn't strictly live in a "software" box such that "Projects > Software > Inkscape > Updates" should exist. Instead, "software" should be a type of *tag* so that a project can have multiple tags. And the project page should indicate, probably in the top-right of the div that has the project title, what tags this project has. A mild side-note: it seems semantically wrong to call the top section of the project page an <article>. The pledge button and stats and screen shot are definitely not an article. That needs to be changed. An <article> is like a blog post, it is specifically for actual content that could be stripped out and printed as a piece of writing, an article… >> >> I don't know if @media queries can consider height, but I would >> use the breakpoints in such a way that anything within the 1300 >> to 1399 width size should be assumed to be widescreen, i.e. to >> be relatively short height.
