Re: [platform-dev] Increase initial size for Eclipse help

I agree on the modernization of help.

 

In the short term we could use increase of initial size and resizing of images using css. As resizing causes images to lose information while downsizing. These images would appear quite bad on the first look.

I will do some experiments on how to include a magnifier.

 

Thanks

I don't see what the *initial* size for the help window has to do with anything. Screenshots should scale to fit if the window is too small (ideally with a "magnifier" tool to show them full size, if required).

 

The help system UI (and likely the backend too) really desperately needs to be modernized. Responsive UIs are table stakes now.

Hi,

 

Initial size for eclipse help is set at 1024x768. This resulted in having max size of images in N&N and help documentation to 520. We are considering increasing this to 1600x900. This would allow us to have screenshots/images in help files/N&N up to 720 pixels.

 

If any one has objections please let us know in Bug 547897 - Investigate column widths for N&N documentation

 

Thanks

Sravan
