Desktop mode styling #23

Closed tobyweston closed 11 years ago

Great build monitor, thanks for your work!

Just spotted the desktop mode in the corner. It seems to resize the text so we no longer have to zoom out to fit all our builds on the monitor which is great. It also seems to hide non-building, green builds.

Any chance we could have them all displayed but sized down to avoid the zoom (like desktop mode)?

Cheers

Hey Toby,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you are finding CI-Eye useful.

With regards to your UI request, you might want to take a look at Issue #9, but basically CI-Eye deliberately avoids showing all your builds, favouring ranking that ensures only the most relevant stuff is radiated, mitigating information overload.

Desktop mode is designed with developer desktops in mind, aiming to allow CI-Eye to run in a small window in the corner of your screen, and, to avoid unnecessary distractions, it shows only red stuff and building stuff.

I hope this explanation, and the more detailed one on Issue #9, make sense to you. Of course, if you want something slightly different to better suit your needs, feel free to make a fork -- you should only need to fiddle with cieye.css.

-Tom

No problem. Did you try anything out yourself in the end? I'd be interested to look over your results.
