Adapt to screen size #339

Open marek-lach opened 3 years ago

marek-lach commented 3 years ago

Currently, Bookworm does not display well on smaller (mobile, 5.7'') screens, its interface gets cut off in portrait mode. Please adapt it with libhandy (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libhandy) to be dynamically responsive.

Much thanks, ML.

Thanks for raising this issue - will have a look at the libhandy to see if I can make bookworm responsive for smaller devices. While linux distro are you running on your mobile?

I appreciate it. Debian (Mobian - https://mobian-project.org) and Manjaro on the PinePhone currently.

This is how the screen looks like at the moment:

With libhandy it should be possible to dynamically wrap around the edges of the screen correctly, and scale-down the UI elements to fit the screen estate precisely.
