There’s a point somewhere here, but people using apps in full screen with this screen are stupid
A lot of people don’t know that you don’t have to use your software full screen. Weird but true.
Yeah, true. Tbh I use a lot of my “main” software in full screen, but I mostly use fullhd
You need to turn your head to read the line number.
Besides, your lines shouldn’t be longer than 80 characters anyway
Well, as the picture says, with this bad boy you can use 86 characters per line.
What would even be the design solution without massive empty space? Add a lot of columns? Make the long content horizontal instead of vertical?
I think for most web apps it doesn’t make sense to allow the width to get so wide, except when the content being displayed is a columnar list and even then it’s a pretty marginal benefit.
What I’ve done is limit the max-width to some amount of px/chars and allowed the remaining space be empty, with an exception for when displaying tables. Even with tables, the bigger width is only beneficial if either the contents of the columns are large enough, or there are very many columns to show. The solution in my mind is limiting the column widths to the longest content.
But why? That’s the most pointless screen ratio I’ve yet to see.
How are you gonna read all those Java class names otherwise?
