  • Fixed Page Size

    I'm looking for some guidance to address an issue with apps that I develop. When I develop the app, it will look great on my screen. However, not everyone has their screens set at the same resolution and it can result in widgets being too compressed and the user experience is impacted. Is there some way to fix the size of the page when rendering an app so the experience is consistent? I'm open to having scroll bars or some way to automatically set zoom to compensate.

    In the next Valence 6.4 update, each app section will have optional Minimum width and Minimum height settings for desktop browsers (in the section's settings in the App Sections list). On screens at or above that size, the app fills the window just as it does today. When the window is smaller, the widgets stop shrinking and the user gets a horizontal and/or vertical scrollbar instead, so the layout stays the way you designed it.

    The minimum height applies to the section's widgets; the app bar (and the tab bar, in a tabbed app) sits above it.

    If you're on the latest 6.4 build (6.4.20261019.0) and would like these settings before the update is released, let us know and we can send you a patch.
