Option to have a fixed dial size independently from window resizing #136

Open e1a6 opened 5 years ago

Thank you for sharing your great work.

Dials change size proportionally with the window size. If favicon size dials are used when the window is maximized, when the window size is reduced the dials become too small to be usable. It would be nice to have an option to stop the dials from resizing along with the window. That way, the dials would keep the same size if the window is maximized or not.

Do you have tried to set the picture is centered on dial settings ? Is this a solution or a nearest solution ?

e1a6 commented 5 years ago

I've tried the picture is centered setting on dial settings but it only affect the dial and not the grid. I've made a video to show you what i would like to achieve: here

On the left chromium and the extension humble new tab page on the right Firefox with your addon.

Humble new tab page addon exists for firefox but your extension offers more customisation possibilties and focus on dials when the other one is mainly bookmark centered.

@e1a6 I've watched your video and I did't imagine this use ;-) I'll try to provide a min width and height for this case !!!!

Thank you for the quick answer and support!

I'm using it as compact bookmark toolbar. Mouse gestures are a huge part of my workflow so i like having all the dials just under the cursor instead of lined up across the screen like in the traditional bookmark toolbar. I'm sure it's a marginal use of your addon so i'm really grateful for the effort you are considering putting into it to make it work for me and those who use it like me.

I switch to possible future enhancement because it's not so easy... Adding vertical scroll bar break my code when you have more than one page... Need more time...

I understand (well not the technicality of it but the fact that something could be more difficult than anticipated). Anyway thank you for being reachable and helping out. I'll be patient.
