Description Donald Smith CLA 2006-01-12 15:26:23 EST 
Using a DPI setting other than default (96) in the windows-display-DPI Setting causes the view on the page to look bad.  The "article" "discussion" "edit" and "history" buttons are mostly obscured with DPI settings of 120 or higher.  The navigation/serach/toolbox boxes on the left span into main content page.

Did you try playing with the browser's default font size? Can you attach a screenshot?

Hi,

You are right - if I lower the font size a few times it looks better for sure.  However, on other mediawiki incarnations, such as http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki I can change the font to be any size and it looks fine and buttons are never obscured.  I guess this is just a CSS challenge.  I realize this is ultra-low priority and picky, but I just wanted it to be noted.

Proposed solution is to decrease font size, and decrease distance between eyes and monitor.. 

Jokes aside, the challenge we have (compared to MediaWiki) is that we're using color backgrounds - the purple sidebar, the black bar for the menu.

We'll look into it... Someday.

We recently upgraded our Wiki, and used the standard Phoenix skin.  I believe this fixes the DPI problem, but if not, please reopen (this bug will then become a Phoenix bug).
Comment 7 Gunnar Wagenknecht CLA 2007-03-09 15:03:26 EST 
Yes, it looks much better now. Thanks!
