More horizontal space #18

Closed pdroalves closed 3 years ago

pdroalves commented 3 years ago

When I'm working on a single tiddler it occupies a quite small area on the left side of my screen. This looks like a waste of space, and sometimes it's a bit frustrating to not being able to resize it to occupy at least half of the entire available width.

I believe that this would be solved if the tiddler's width could be modified, manually or automatically, when there are enough screen space to fit all opened tiddlers.

You can resize a tiddler's width and padding from:

control panel > plugins > Krystal > settings

You can also make one tiddler occupy all the story view space by clicking the "maximize tiddler" button from the more actions menu:

This helps a lot! Maybe a shortcut to facilitate the access to Krystal setup would be welcome, thou. A guideline that could be dragged using a mouse would be perfect.

The button to maximize and occupy all the view space seems a bit "green". I think it would be better if the user could set a different padding for a tiddler when it is maximized than when it is not. Looks like the current padding is the same in both cases, but when maximized the padding should be a bit larger. For instance, see what happens to the gray area on a LibreOffice Writer document when the windows is maximized and when it is not.

Adding a guideline seems like a good idea but I think is better if you suggest this feature directly to the original creator and maintainer of the Krystal plugin: https://github.com/crazko/krystal/issues

Adding new functions to plugins that are still being developed might result in issues when a newer version gets released, and updating them might result in some tedious work.

I think it would be better if the user could set a different padding for a tiddler when it is maximized than when it is not.

You can add more padding for maximize tiddlers by modifying the following tiddler: $:/plugins/rmnvsl/krystal/river.css And the following class: .krystal-tiddler__frame--maximized In there you could add a padding property and set it to match your preference, for example: padding: 0 150px;
