Perl Monks with Perl-Blue theme on a 1024x768 Display

Long story short I happen to be stuck on a 1024x768 laptop display today and I noticed that nodelets do not quite fit on the screen when using the Perl-Blue theme. At least not on The Monastary Gates, Seekers of Perl Wisdom, etc. (they do fit on e.g. the display settings page). This led to some discussion on the Chatterbox....

Perl-Blue has several hardcoded values that defeat most (all?) display setting tweaking attempts.

It seems like a lot of horizontal space is being wasted for [ Offer your reply ] links. I suggested that these be moved to the bottom of the message. However, as others pointed out why do we even have these? Shouldn't readers be drilling down to the post to see what replies are already there before replying??

P.S. I also noticed that the CSS stylesheet 404267 for Perl-Blue has an incorrect comment at the top:

/* This CSS controls the Blue Web-Safe theme. */

Ooops!! :-)

P.S.S. Special thanks to tye, ambrus, and jdporter.

I use the Perl-Blue theme on 1024768 and did not notice anything wrong except very occasionally the main node part of the screen pushing the nodelets away if there was a very long unbreakable text in the main part.

What's your browser ? With Firefox it's OK, with even smaller windows.	[reply]
