This button is very easy to miss, it took me a while to find out its location.
Also, why is the warning still there?
Perhaps we should be using monitors with the 4:3, 5:4 and 16:10 aspect ratios. Full widescreen on a computer monitor was a bad idea in usability terms and it still is.itroitnyah wrote:...on a regular 1920x1080 monitor...

At least we can make it better now.
Flat design, please!
Not really anything that I can change, that I'm using a monitor with a 16:9 ratio. I don't want to go out and get a new monitor, haha. Besides, having full widesceen hasn't done anything bad for me in terms of usability. I don't have any trouble whatsoever with watching videos, browsing the internet, working on word or excel documents... You'd have to explain to me why full widescreen on a computer monitor is a bad idea in usability terms.Paspie wrote:Perhaps we should be using monitors with the 4:3, 5:4 and 16:10 aspect ratios.

Well for starters, most of the programs and webpages you use daily are vertically oriented. They make most efficient use of space when monitors have a vertical resolution that is higher relative to the horizontal resolution. Widescreen monitors are a huge waste of space, because generally you scroll up and down, not left to right, which creates a fairly unnatural experience, especially for productivity.itroitnyah wrote:You'd have to explain to me why full widescreen on a computer monitor is a bad idea in usability terms.
I think you're overthinking monitors, dude. The only things that don't benefit from widescreen are microsoft word and some websites. In video creation software, adding widescreen makes more room for opening file paths to load images or video files without restricting the size of the preview. In art programs there's more viewing space on the canvas because everything is moved off to the sides. With DAWs there is a lot more benefit because you can fit more windows onto the screen (A good example is FL. I can fit Massive as well as the piano roll onto the screen without needing to resize piano roll into a tiny ass square). Excel works well with widescreen because you can view more rows of columns. And then of course games and videos benefit from widescreen. Besides, if you're going to get your undies in that much of a bundle because of how much gray space you're seeing between the writing space in MS Word and the screen, you can always turn the monitor sideways and change the display orientation in the control panel. The family computer in my house actually has a fairly square monitor, and I would pick widescreen over a more-square monitor any day. Even if I were to just use MS Word for the rest of my life on computers.Paspie wrote:A bunch of stuff in response to what I said
Hey another person who left some time ago. It seems like a lot of people who used to visit the forum a honey bunches of oats are coming back again. Or maybe that's just me. Welcome back. Somebody get some more of the oldies to jump back in. The site could use some more traffic.XXDarkShadow79XX wrote:Well, things sure happened. I guess I could say I chose the wrong time to resurrect, but one can only expect such changes when you leave a forum as intimate and community-driven as this for nearly a year. (You know, life and stuff) Alas, this forum sure looks healthy enough to keep on standing as it has, though whether or not that's true is something that we will find out soon enough.
I also think the site looks purty.
