Hi Jed with Spiritual Quest - that required a mix of icon navigation, images, embeds, large icons plus feature art as well as text. I could get away with iphone & ipad on the one template ( portrait format ) which is the "natural" tilt for their readers .... but laptops and desktops SWITCH to a landscape format - so a different approach is needed.
To be quite honest about it - with hidden sidebar - the Wide format is actually very awkward unless a two page spread can be achieved...... very WIDE strings of text is an anathema to our natural expectation for text delivery ( on this TW fails to excite ) Interestingly - as we had asked a variety of question of our initial readers / testers - for almost ALL who used desktop they deferred to resizing the TW window to 50% screen width and found that more "comfortable" - as it was closer to a portait tablet display. Note - we DID suggest that if the full width screen wasn't to the reader liking - resizing to a half-width browser window is an option. cheers JN On 22-Nov-16 12:33:19 AM, Jed Carty <[email protected]> wrote: Is needing separate templates really a big problem here? I haven't really tried so I don't know. But for text I think that you would just need to make 3 or 4 templates and use the correct one based on screen size. If you have more active content or images than you have other problems but you would have them in other formats as well. And as for what is more natural on a tech device I would say RSVP is most natural for reading just text. For presenting information other than just plain text I still find single page (that is non-scrolling) chunks of text to be the most natural. My problem with that is that I may just be biased because despite the web being around for a few decades we haven't really discovered how to present information all that well in a dynamic environment. A while ago I started some experiments on this but never got very far in them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
