Not really an issue but how to center text? #168

Closed xx1182 closed 11 months ago

xx1182 commented 1 year ago

Take this exemple:

        <div class="title-bar" style="height: 100px;">
            <div class="title-bar-text" style="text-align: center;">bad words</div>
          </div>

regards.

Hey! It's possible that the width of the parent div or title-bar-text might be set to fit the content (the text within).

Have you tried setting the width of the divs to something like 100vw?

Hey @xx1182, this is the comment I left on the PR that's linked to this issue. I was wondering if you could help figure out whether this is in-scope for this repo.

Hi! I'm wondering if there's a precedent for centered text in Windows 98. The section "Primary Window Components" in Microsoft Windows User Experience doesn't show anything other than left-justified text, so I think that (at least for Roman script) it should always be displayed to the left. What do you think? Do you have any example of a non-left-justified window title?

Technically yes, because it's not "Microsoft related", some developers did/could, don't have any source material, if maybe

Launch game Is centered because it looks cool.

Think of a 90's nerd teenager, with "edgy black background that makes you go blind on those old monitors"

I can absolutely see why it would look cool. Take a look at the PR if you want to use that selector in your own codebase! s for the issue itself I lean towards thinking it's off scope for this project. Closing this as not planned, please tag me if you find any real world Windows 98 examples!
