[DISCUSS] Layout change version 2
Hi,
based on the recent comments I did some more work on the layout.
http://code.grobmeier.de/incubator-draft-v2/
http://code.grobmeier.de/incubator-draft-v2/projects/index.html
http://code.grobmeier.de/incubator-draft-v2/projects/ognl.html
* http://code.grobmeier.de/incubator-draft-v2/podlings.xml
Changes:
- used bootstrap http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ (AL licensed)
- removed table layout -> using divs now
- used bootstraps default width (960) which supports better reading
and a nice look tablets
- added podlings.xml discussed in the latest thread to be used for
some javascript magic in near future
I would like to commit this now b/c it would get complicated if I
would need to merge....
I have not included the right handed project list by javascript yet,
but the project index is much better and should do the trick until
something better comes up.
Any objections?
Cheers
Christian

Well, the previous iteration (<http://code.grobmeier.de/incubator-draft-v2>)
was also "fluid", in the same way that just about every other modern major
site is fluid: there are graphical elements, either visible (the top bars on
<http://cnn.com>, <http://news.yahoo.com>) or invisible (the container
divs on <http://nytimes.com>, <http://yahoo.com>) which grow and shrink so
that the page always looks appropriate no matter the browser window width.
It's just that the boxes which hold *text* did not change width in your
previous variant.
> Do you like that more?

I really like the way the previous iteration was going, and I strongly prefer
it over the fluid-text-box variation.
Aesthetically, super long line lengths make it difficult for the eye to
re-anchor itself on the next line when jumping left -- they are taxing for the
same reason that ragged-left justification is harder on the eye than
ragged-right.
Practically, fluid text boxes are more demanding to design around in terms of
CSS wizardry, spacial visualization skills and web design experience. The
centered-rigid layout will be easier for others to maintain and to keep things
looking right in all browsers and at all window widths.
Cheers,
Marvin Humphrey

I like the 960 lots more. I even have my browser never at fullscreen :-)
Its because of readability... i like it more when it is a bit smaller.
Anyway I made you a quick'n'dirty look for fluid:
http://code.grobmeier.de/incubator-draft-v2/index-fluid.html
Do you like that more?
Other thoughts?

Furthermore...
have you taken a look at browserstack (http://t.co/JSjVfx41)?
Maybe it could be useful.

I have to say that on my screen (1600x900) looks like a waste of space.
Why don't you opt for a flow layout?
