- sneak 15y agoSorry, I design for 2560x1600. I don't want poor people reading my site. (That's a joke. I didn't even make the theme.)
- thenduks 15y agoJoke or not, I have to point out that just because someone's screen resolution is 2560x1600 doesn't mean they have their browser that huge. Personally, my browser is never wider than 1100px. I do usually go as tall as the screen, but on a small laptop...
- yaix 15y agoJust wanted to comment the exact same thing. And netbooks still have a big screen compared to many phones.
- cubicle67 15y agoyes. I use space to move the content up a screen, and layouts like this mean I then have to go and scroll back a few inches.
- nthj 15y agoEven #newtwitter gets this wrong. Space jumps down a page, all right, but one of the unread tweets hides behind the black header. I haven't looked into this, but if anyone has a fixed position header on their project, they should look into overwriting the space bar action readability-style and calculating how far to jump down.
