I've been working on a new theme for the AT forums

13px is not too big by default, I'm glad you have amazing eyesight but on the web in 2009, over 50% of the population uses resolutions > 1024x768, and even on 1024x768, 13px is reasonable.

I've already scaled down the font drastically and if you still find it too large, simply use the suggestion above. 10px for web in 2009 is ridiculous for a normal sized font.


By the way... you didn't even comment on the over-sized image fix.

Fix is somehow borked both in firefox and opera. The images are scaled down until you scroll your window and waving your mouse over when they centered, increase their size. Will post a screenshot.

I don't think you understand how it works...

jquery adds a class "thumbnailed" to any image over 550px.

Code: Select all

.thumbnailed:hover {
   max-width:auto;
}

this means when you hover, it'll go back to it's original size.

This is the most simple way to go about it, I'm working on click toggle in case that is preferred.

If this is how people like, then leave it be. I'll try to avoid hovering my mouse pointer then.

If you don't like the resize on hover, simply turn JavaScript off, as it isn't used for anything else useful anyway.

And even this - why use a javascript library for it? Can this really not be done with CSS?

[Alien]

Except javascript is part of ajax and used in numerous webmails.

[divVerent]

Sure, but nobody really NEEDS AJAX.

Well, simple. Turn it off generally, turn it on per-site where you need it. E.g. using NoScript in Firefox.

Much less annoyances (ads, popups, layer ads - all gone).

I chose to use a javascript library because I plan on doing more with javascript.


I don't know of a pure CSS solution. I used javascript to sense images larger than 550px. The following code snippet failed for me.

Code: Select all

img { max-width:50px; }
img:hover {   max-width:auto !important; }

Wow... something has changed while I was away drinkin'... am I still drunk ?

For a first blink, it's odd, but nice. I have to test it for a few days untill I can tell more.

Vast improvement over the old theme, which I always had to override the css to get a readable font size with.

Thumbs up.

Btw specifying pixel sizes for fonts is such a broken design I won't even comment on it. Wait, just did. Bugger.
