      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

          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?___

                  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.

                  Cheers,

                  –SD

                    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

                      It doesnt work

                      Have the same issue here in 2.1.3

                      It removes the option to save settings in the GUI as well. After I revert the patch, then save settings are back…

                      @doktornotor:

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

                        The package does not SAVE in 2.1.4
                        This is a REAL pity, as this package makes pfSense usable.  The normal layout of the 'Dashboard' is just plain stupid.  Having to scroll up and down is not an option!

                        To the pfSense Developers.  PLEASE STOP BREAKING THE WIDESCREEN ABILITY!  If you are not working within a corporate environment where you do not have the time to scroll up and down, you are just waisting peoples time by upgrading.  I know widescreen is to be bundled in 2.2, but looking at how long it took to go from VER1 to 2, this will not happen in the very neer future, UNLESS you think 2-3 years waiting is long enough! (enough of my ranting)

                        Please WIDESCREEN writer, fix the SAVE option in the DASHBOARD…

                        HOW MUCH INFO ARE YOU PREPARED TO LOOSE!!!???

                          What I miss the most is when running a lot of VLAN's you have to scroll like hell. The interface statistics is the turned the wrong way around as well. Why do I have to scroll sideways in a small widget to see the info when it could be made a lot easier if turned around.

                            It has never been broken intentionally. We can't hold back the base system because some unofficial and unsupported patch might break, especially when security and similar fixes are required. The original creator of the patch or someone with the skills to update it would have to keep up with the code changes in the base system. If someone wants to maintain the patch and bring it up to a current version, others may appreciate it, but if we wanted the patch in the base system for 2.1.x it would have been officially accepted there long ago.

                            There is a widescreen theme in 2.2, and 2.2 is moving along, almost to BETA. That's the only place that officially contains widescreen support. Anything else only works by luck/chance.

                            If it bothers you that much, put up a bounty to have someone fix the widescreen patch or fix it yourself for others to use.
