(New / Fixed) Widescreen Package Update
-
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,

Try to zoom out in your browser… ;)

That's not the issue.
It actually stretches the column so it's not a native widescreen. -
Depending on the room for the columns ;) If there is no room for 3, then it stretches the 2 that are native to PFsense…
-
odd… there was room for 4 columns under the Fredch patch under 2.0.3
But with this patch on 2.1, no matter how far I zoom I just get 2 wide columns that get progressively wider and shorter as I zoom out.
Running on both Chrome and Firefox on 3 different machines.May just wait for 2.2. Hopefully Chris and Jim will put in a configuration box. How many F'ing columns would you like?___

Yirrr..2.1 sucks that way!
-
The old widescreen package allowed for at least 3 (or maybe it was 4) columns across the screen. It was really handy to be able to see most, if not all the dashboard windows without needing to scroll down the page, an enhancement I valued. If it can no longer be accomplished, it will not be show stopper, just a bit of extra effort.

Thank you, Missed this package so much. For such a powerful router it could defiantly use more on the screen to fit today's monitors
