Hi everyone,
first of all: I like the new design of the XDA website (and intro of XDA TV).
I hoped to find a forum for questi0ons about the forum itself without any device background so I'm not sure if this thread fits here.
Attached threre is a screenshot of my screen at work. I'm using IE 8. Threre is no adblocking or anything.
1. The quotes are not correctly shown and
2. the ads on the left side are covering a lot of space
I guess the spaceproblem wouldnt be an issue if my screen was 16:9 but on 4:3 its kinda annoying.

After seeing this posting I wanted to try it on my Fuze (stock AT&T Rom) and the result was a 7x4 cluttered grid (photo attached). I reworked the settings a little bit and I've gotten it to work (and I slightly decreased the font size cause I like it a little smaller). I've attached two cabs - the 4columns is intended for people who have turned off their vertical scroll bar (description here http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1586) and the one with 'bars' at the end is intended for people with a vertical scroll bar (there's more room on the right side). A soft reset is required after installation.
If you give it a shot please tell me your results. It will cleanly uninstall.
Thanks

It lets you save those little store barcode things you need for the savings that you keep on your keyring but I've found that the screen is too reflective. Maybe with a screen protector it may work but I was unable to get it to work without one.
Hello folks. I'm new, and I'm sorry in advance if this has been asked.
I know there are many complaints about font sizes on android phones. It appears each app has their own too. As someone who needs reading glasses, my phone is really hard to use without them.
So, I started looking for a simple "spyglass" type app that would magnify a part of the screen (whereever the finger is touching). There is NOTHING out there. I can't imagine it being too hard (granted...I haven't learned java/Android yet)?
Essentially, launch the app, then move your finger over the screen, and a preset rectangular area centered on your finger would double or triple the pixels. I'm far sighted, and reading my phone without granny glasses is a pain.
Anybody have any skills they feel like flexing? It would be great if the app ran as a service so you could magnify ANY pixels (no matter what app was running...or simply the homescreen).
Even better-> The "hard button" on our Android phones that is reserved for searching...if that could be modified to launch said "spyglass" tool.....you would win lots of kudos!
Thanks for letting me post. I know of various font tricks and apps, but they are not very slick.
The XDA forums always appear super wide in my Firefox browser. I mean, I always have to go full screen to be able to see a post's entire text. Resizing Firefox doesn't help. This happens even though there's no super wide element (such as an image). XDA forum just never line wrap "early" enough. I've never encountered this issue on any other forum I'm on. Any suggestions how to fix this? I've been through the forum settings, and messed with Firefox, but nothing helps.

Try the following:
Go to XDA forum (I guess you can do it while reading my suggestion.
Hold the ctrl button on your keyboard (Doesn't matter which one)
Then use the scroller from your mouse to scroll up or down.
Up makes it bigger, down smaller.
If that doesn't help, post a screenshot so that we can truly understand what's wrong.
My laptop doesn't have a mouse, so I use ctrl-+ and ctrl-- in Firefox to control size. Ctrl-0 returns to default.
Actually, I just discovered that messing with my theme setting improves things. XDA 2013 beta gives me the super wide situation. I then have to press Ctrl-- two times, but then the font is rather small. You can see the before/after in the screenshots I've attached called XDA-1 and XDA-2. For comparison, I've attached screenshots of Google News at default size and then after pressing Ctrl-- two times.
I was getting this behavior with the default skin, though I don't know the default skin's name. When I switch to "XDA 2013 beta," it looks the same although I was getting this behavior before 2013. When I switch to "XDA 2013 beta - 1024," lines wrap in a more readable way though it's still a bit wide. When I switch to "XDA 2010," it gives me an appearance I'd call normal. So from now on, I'll pay attention to the theme, but it looks like the themes currently under development need to either give the user flexibility to choose the wrap length, width limit, font size, or whatever. Otherwise, I'm stuck with the legacy theme, which is fine as long as it keeps working. Maybe other people also experience the same performance.
I'm attaching a screenshot of "XDA 2010."
Same issue with Firefox on my Samsung Galaxy S3: the default XDA 2013 Beta theme is a disaster because it goes super wide. I get usable behavior on my phone when I select the XDA 1010 theme.
To follow up, the theme "XDA 2013 -- Beta 1024" now works fine for me. If I resize my browser to a narrower window, the contents squeeze in along with it (up to a point). The "XDA 2013" theme just stays too wide. "XDA 2010" continues to work fine, but I've now switched to the 2013 b1024.
Hello, first of all, I want to apologize because I didn't know where to post this.
Here is my idea:
A simple launcher (the design doesn't matter for the moment) with an innovative function (I haven't seen it in any place), the app drawer can be scrolled up and down using the gravity sensor (I don't know if this is the exact hardware which it will use), for example, If I tilt the phone forwards, the apps will scroll down (like falling) and If I tilt the phone backwards, the apps will scroll up.
I'm looking for someone interested in my idea who wants to take this as a hobby, the point is that I don't know anything about development, but I can use very well graphic design tools such as Illustrator and Photoshop. We can work together.
Sorry for my very bad english.
Greetings and again, sorry for posting this here.
So i have recently got a s10e and i use night mode with it.now i have noticed that for example when i scroll through youtube homepage or some other apps its content moves and also leaves a purple trail behind.Im worried about this since i havent had it on any of my previous devices so any help would be appreciated.
No I have not noticed anything like that (also new s10e user here) and it would have been much more useful to actually add the issue to the thread title. I don't know if you can, but you should change the title to something like "Purple trail while scrolling in night mode". I'm pretty sure that a lot of people don't even bother opening the thread with a vague title like the current one so you're going to have a hard time finding help.
If you google it you will find the answer. Basically it's a feature that comes with oled screens when light text scroll over black background and using low brightness.
