Pidesco Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Is there a way to set large images not to be sized down after they load? If not, is it possible to include that option?

Fionavar Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 At the moment it is either/or ... so we have defaulted to the shrinking now for general use. The universe is change; your life is what our thoughts make it - Marcus Aurelius (161)
Pidesco Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 How about making the shrinking dependant on browser window size? Would that be possible?

Fionavar Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I can look into it ... the default is resize if the image is larger than 50% of the browser viewing area ... what would you suggest would be reasonable? Do remember that they average resolution remains 800x600. The universe is change; your life is what our thoughts make it - Marcus Aurelius (161)
Pidesco Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 I was thinking that what would work nicely would be to resize the images that are larger than the browser window to fit its size more or less exactly. So, for example, someone with an 800x600 desktop would have the images with around a 600 pixel width minus the forum sidebar. In my case, I have my desktop at 1280x960 so the images would show at 960 minus the forum sidebar. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans.

Fionavar Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Right - so do you have a % that you think would accommodate all users more usefully (with the 800x600 proviso in mind)? The universe is change; your life is what our thoughts make it - Marcus Aurelius (161)
Pidesco Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) Not really. A fixed percentage leaves no one happy. Of course, if there's no other option, we just have to make do. Anyway, the problem for me isn't the percentage of the screen at which the image is reduced, but rather that the images are reduced way too much. Like in the following example, both images are reduced much more than what I needed to fit my screen. In fact, the lower one, at 760x600 didn't even need to be reduced. Edit: I reduced my resolution to 800x600, and now I understood that the board always reduces the images to whatever size fits an 800x600 screen. If that's the only way it can work, then I guess what I'm asking isn't feasible at all.

mkreku Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Uhm.. Since when is the standard 800x600? I thought it was 1024x768? Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Dark_Raven Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 800*600 in North America, 1024*768 in Europe from my net experiences. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Fionavar Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 I have changed it to 60% - is this any better? An okay compromise? The universe is change; your life is what our thoughts make it - Marcus Aurelius (161)
Pidesco Posted October 12, 2007 Author Posted October 12, 2007 It looks exactly the same. All the images are still reduced to a 800x600 complaint size.

Fionavar Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Well let me try the other way ... and? The universe is change; your life is what our thoughts make it - Marcus Aurelius (161)
Pidesco Posted October 12, 2007 Author Posted October 12, 2007 No change... "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
