Note that an example with the "Presentation" screen is even more telling since there are more textareas/string fields. Note that currently the partial width is not good since it's 50% and when you resize for a smaller screen it stays at 50% making fields harder and harder to read. I'm ok if we decide to go 100% for all controls except for select boxes. > *Test*: You can test this "partial"/"full" width on your resolution by > removing "half" class from "<form class='xform half"" definition. > > *Considerations*: > - When voting please consider that the width will be set for small and high > resolutions (that until we will improve our skin to detect the resolutions > change). > - You should consider how form controls look (readability, usability) on > different sizes, like <select>, input, textarea, etc. > > *Other Solutions*: > A.
