Theme is broken on small(er) netbook screens #15

Closed ahanson closed 13 years ago

ahanson commented 13 years ago

I'm using an older model Acer Aspire One with a 1024x600 screen, and there are some problems with the theme (esp. when logging into the admin interface). Can post some screenshots as needed.

Ugh, I hates that Github's issue tracker doesn't support attachments. Screen shots are SO HELPFUL. Thanks for creating this, Alex, I logged in with the goal of adding this one and found you already had!

Anyway, to expand just a little on the issue: The main sizing issue with the theme is the top navigation bar, which uses the CSS 'position: fixed;' rule to "stick" itself to the top of the screen. The top navigation bar consists of a search form and some navigational links on the left side, a login form / user information + logout block on the right side. When the viewport is too narrow (and apparently, 1024px is "too narrow") to accomodate both the left and right side, the two sides "stack" on top of each other. That's a sane behavior, but it causes the navigation bar to extend down, and over, the secondary navigation elements, which are positioned assuming the top navigation bar has a specific height.

Options / strategies:

Generally, the CSS for the top navigation bar, and the design of the top navigation bar itself, need some design and CSS love.

I made some progress on this -- can you test again?

Both the Drupal administrator menu and the regular Townsquare menu are dropping down lower than it should.

Is there a way to put townsquare on a page similar to a piece of paper sitting on a desk? I have a visual of that "piece of paper" resizing easier. This is just a thought, I'm interested in hearing about it's feasibility.

@glover - computer screens aren't like a piece of paper, unfortunately. This conversation is kind of pointless without a mockup. We can discuss this at the next meeting...

Next meeting.
