Negative.

Man that hurts…

See - Now you can get one of those 4:3 ratio LCD monitors for cheap… No need to waste money on 16:9 ;D

I am having a hard time finding this joke funny :?

I'm being as jovial as I can be on the issue. From what I can tell the "OMG Widescreen is broken" message has been received by everyone. For me, its not a show stopper since I never liked the old package one little bit. But if someone had one available that didn't break things half the time, I'd load it in a heart beat myself. It always made my system flakey in the past.
From what I can tell, even having upgraded with the widescreen package in place and then removing it continues to break things in the web gui.

There is a widescreen theme already checked in for 2.2, but it required too many other changes to be in 2.1.x
For a quick hack, this patch can be used for now:

Hmmmm… If that works I bet you will get many virtual thank-you(s)
-
Thanks Jim!
What does it do and how do we run it?
Excuse for beeing a noob :D

It's not my code it was from someone else here on the forum. Install the system patches package and add it in there.

At least looks a whole LOT less intrusive than the WS "package" - and a snap to revert as well ;) 8)
-
Frankly.. not sure what is all the hype about this package not being present on 2.1. Is browsing the landing page down that time consuming ????
-
Could someone please post a screen capture of what this patch looks like?
Is it simple to add / revert - using the system patch manager?
Sorry for (perhaps?) stupid questions :)
TIA
-
Yes, very easy to revert… It looks... Uhm. WIDE. :D
-
Thanks!
I will try over the week end. -
Well, the good news is that installing the patches package, then installing this patch was very simple.
The bad news is that I cannot see any difference? Having installed the patch - I have applied - no error messages, all seems to work, but as far as I can see the appearance is identical?
I have tried on both Firefox and IE10, but everything looks the same.
Have tried apply, revert and even removed and reinstalled - nothing seems to change.
Am I missing something or is the difference so subtle that I didn't notice?

You need to wipe browser cache and restart the browser. Otherwise you have the CSS cached.

Is it just me….
Does this "widescreen" patch just widen the two native columns or can you get 3 or more columns? If so, how?TIA,
Rick
