| 03:49 | <@Alek> | [R] no, I mean resizing the contents to remain proportional to the window, if the resolution or zoom is above a certain level. |
| 03:50 | <@Alek> | so you don't end up with tiny contents if you have a fullscreen page in 8k resolution zoomed to 50% size, for example. >_> |

| 09:01 | <&jerith> | Alek: In my experience, messing with expected behaviour is almost always a bad idea. |
| 09:02 | <&jerith> | Especially on the web. |
| 09:13 | <&jerith> | Do you have some specific purpose for this? |

| 18:15 | <@Alek> | jerith: like I said, to prevent the page becoming tiny in the window, with too much empty space. |
| 18:18 | <&jeroud> | McMartin: They're also looking at generic types, apparently. But I'm not holding my breath. |
| 18:20 | <&jeroud> | Alek: I'm probably a bit of an outlier in terms of web usability stuff. |
| 18:26 | <&jeroud> | Are you expecting anyone to zoom way out on a high resolution display? |
| 18:31 | <@Alek> | basically I'd like anything beyond HD (1920x1080) and 100% zoom to scale to approximately that. stuff like ultrawide or 4k monitors, or zooming out. |
| 18:31 | <~Vornicus> | I still can't understand what you're saying |
| 18:32 | <~Vornicus> | Like there's a whole field of design called Responsive Design where the web page will try to take advantage of the screen real estate you have |
| 18:32 | <@Alek> | the website has css settings to adjust how it looks at smaller resolutions (although zooming in is still a problem), but at larger resolutions or zoomed out it's got too much empty space around the components. |
| 18:33 | <@Alek> | it's not urgent yet, I was just trying to plan ahead, but hm. I'll look that up. |
| 18:34 | <~Vornicus> | nowadays, flex and/or grid are the tools of choice; both are pure CSS |
| 18:35 | <~Vornicus> | you use media queries to decide when to change the layout |
| 18:43 | <&jeroud> | I prefer to stick to default behaviour and let people zoom or resize to whatever's comfortable for them. |
| 18:48 | <&jeroud> | It annoys me when the text on a page is locked to a fixed width and gives me horizontal scrollbars or big empty borders instead of fitting the text to the window. |
| 18:48 | <&jeroud> | Sometimes I have the browser window narrow next to the something else. |
| 18:51 | <@Alek> | well, the big empty borders is what I'd like to avoid, too. |
| 18:52 | <@Alek> | but horizontal scrollbars will be avoided too because the page does adjust for getting smaller. |
| 18:57 | <~Vornicus> | remember that long lines of text are annoying to read |
| 18:57 | <~Vornicus> | (there are css columns systems too) |
| 18:57 | <~Vornicus> | and that images that are super large can be annoying |
| 19:00 | <@Alek> | the website is mostly images. a photography studio webpage. |
| 19:01 | <@Alek> | I'm more worried about the images being super small compared to the monitor, but I'll look into stuff. |
| 19:02 | <@Alek> | pictures that are just right on a 25" HD screen would be a little small on a 4k or bigger 30" monitor, for example. >_> |
| 19:03 | <~Vornicus> | Use a percentile width on image elements and you probably get all you need |
| 19:03 | <@Alek> | not to mention the text and forms. not that there's much of it. |
| 19:12 | <@Alek> | hm. oh yeah, using percentile on just image elements kinda breaks how they look in comparison to the whole layout, tbh. which is why I wanted to scale the whole layout instead. |
| 19:13 | <~Vornicus> | for the love of mike figure out what exactly you want it to look like before committing any css |

| 19:33 | <&jeroud> | Ah, images. That's much more reasonable. |
| 19:33 | <&jeroud> | You likely want to use cm rather than px or something. |
| 19:36 | <&jeroud> | The browser should know the size and dot pitch of the display, etc. |
| 19:37 | <~Vornicus> | percentages will scale naturally to fit whatever size the container is |
