idnetters experiance /firefox theme

It's a good point about viewing area Dope, i defintalty have to do more scrolling. However i like being organised , and similar to Kinmel i can't stand the side bar, it just feels unnatural. I also can't be doing with windows being grouped which is why i have a deep taskbar. The screenie was done in the morning, before muliple windows/apps invade Having bookmarks organised is also essential to me as it provides speed, which i'm very keen on. And yes i do get sick of srolling sometimes

Ah, but if the browser looks cack, then that distracts from the websites, just as a badly decorated room hides it's better features.

have to agree with that simon.I think certain contrasts also help with poor vision.

I have FF at about two thirds of monitor width, which is as wide as I need it for most sites. Off to the right, I can display various bits of info, URLs etc that I use regularly. I also have my taskbar on the left edge of the screen, rather than horizontal. Most things I look at are portrait, so maintaining the full 1200 vertical resolution means less scrolling. Because of my background in graphics, I keep the screen as neutral as possible, ie, grey or black, so as not to distort my colour perception.

looking at that rik, you have much more middle finger than I have

[Rik]

There's an answer to that...

I think that's the idea behind Google Chrome, although I really wasn't keen on it when I tried it out!

[Rik]

TBH, I don't think I ever see a browser as other than a frame for what I want to read.

I think I win on the percentage of real-estate for browsing (If I have more than one tab I lose some, obviously)

All that wasted space though, John.

All that wasted space though, John.

A fair few of the sites I go on take advantage of widescreen aspect ratios, so not really wasted That and the fact I have 2 screens anyway, so I can have something else open there

[Rik]

Schizophrenic, eh John?

That's the theme.  The Core theme is widescreen compatible - you should try it, John. 

[Rik]

Would that be 16:9 or 16:10?

[JohnUK89]

That'll do it! Thanks I've got one 4:3 monitor and a 16:10 here, scales to both nicely! 

[Simon]

Hah!  Another Core convert!

Only 'cos you have funny shaped monitors.
