Fixed Width

[Mark.B]

Had to do a new thread for this to draw attention to it, I spotted earlier that the style chooser has been enabled and there's a fixed width style available.

For those of us who are fans of fixed width styles on forums, try it out...XF looks even MORE amazing in fixed width.

OK, playing with fixed width for a while now, it's not bad at all.

Can we do it for ourselves?

Gotta love that syntax.

I love fixed widths and used them mostly because it makes long contents easier to read and view.

Don't browse full screen?

 

[---MAD---]

Fixed width all the way .

 

[Floris]

I will use it for a while, and see what I think.

I can say that this is the first forum I've liked the fixed width format. Ever.

I usually try to set my board to around 80% fixed width of the browser's window. I, too, prefer how fixed width boards tend to look, as it prevents the content from getting overly wide...

 

[KURTZ]

i personally hate the fixed width ...

 

[Cezz]

I tend to create a hybrid version on my sites... using min-width and max-width... So I create a fluid style but one that can not be narrower than x and wider than y... This I fine pleases the biggest number of people as it is the best of both worlds...

It would be cool if this is possible with xenForo from the outset..

The fixed width looks to small to me...

I browse at 1600x900 on this monitor.

 

[CBI Web]

I'd bet all my money that the width can be customized for everyone's needs, so it's really a non-issue.

I like the fixed width though my first choice will be the fluid style. When I'm tinkering with things I do like them to expand.

Having a widescreen laptop running 1900x900 the fixed width is far too small for me, so fluid it is

I run 1920x1200, yet I'm fine with fixed because I very rarely run my browser full screen so 900->1200px is my normal browser width (changes all the time). How do people browse the internet with so much whitespace?

I scan lines much faster then I'll scan blocks of text, so the longer the line, the faster I can read it.

Yep

 

[Cezz]

I scan lines much faster then I'll scan blocks of text, so the longer the line, the faster I can read it.

But when that line gets much bigger into the case of many many lines... it is not comfortable to be turning your head back and forth to get from the end of one line to the beginning of the next... On my screen if I have fluid width on and browser maximized reading a big block of text is like being at Wimbledon... My head has to turn so much...
