Bositman Wrote:I know, but it's a limitation. It's 3 boxes which have to cover 100% of space, thus each is set to 33,33% width. Using absolute pixels will not do since we want the width to adapt to the users resolution
The site's not very smart then. There are 6 pixels in total. One gap has 2 and the other 4 pixels. 3/3 would solve this, but if it can't be done it can't be done. Just out of curiosity though, why would you need the number of pixels between the boxes to be dynamic? Stretch the boxes to fit the screen size and the distance between them could remain static. I don't think if I'd lower my resolution that the 2 px gap would disappear.
Also the total width of the site still remains lower then 1024 anyway so either the stretching isn't working or it's basically set up to appear fullscreen on 1024x768 screens. This is how it looks on my end.

Bositman Wrote:Any icon suggestion?
One of these maybe (note that the first one conveniently uses the same color scheme as the widget on the left)

Bositman Wrote:It should not stretch to cover ALL of it but it does adapt. If you remember the old site, in large resolutions you would get huge gaps left and right, while currently it mostly covers your screen.
Check my screenshot posted above.
Bositman Wrote:Can't add anything else (I should even reduce the top menu since in some cases it wraps even now). It does not fit the template and the menu will wrap in a second line, making it look horrible
Sorry for not being clear enough, I meant directly above the blue menu strip.

I'll update this later. Going to post the comment before I get unlucky and they take away the electricity.

The Tools and Archive are from here (licensing should be ok). For plugins the cog wheel from GiNUX could be used.

Bositman Wrote:I'm using a ready jquery library for that, so I can't really modify it. TBH I think it's fine and the resizing probably can't be helped since each shot is a different resolution. Still, I can try some other libraries but IIRC this one looked the best
Then leave it. It's not such a big deal.
Bositman Wrote:Not sure a competition is needed, but any proposals anyone has are welcome. We do not have a designer on board after CKemu left and that's lots of years
Then lets hope someone can come up with something good. Same for the background, although I'll go look for something better and see if I can find anything.
