Folks,
While on this layout question I have always felt the default in Mobile mode
should be withe the sidebar closed or at the bottom as the footer. This is
even more so when we now have the menu bar available.
Personally the default view on desktop does not suit me, I immediately
switch to fixed sidebar, fluid story to make full use of the real-estate.
So even the centred view would not suit me unless I was considering making
use of a Left hand sideBar. I have felt since TW5 that the old TWC left
hand side bar should also be a core option, such as having a left/sidebar
segment and left sidebar tabs etc..., perhaps not in use but only a tag
away.
A fully addressable page layout with elements that appear if used could be
achieved with flex and other layout methods. The layout in the thread would
just me one configuration in a large set of possible layouts driven purely
by the existence of contents/tiddlers so tagged.
Regards
Tones
