Fluid layout issues

[akavlie]

btw, I have a decent solution for the JS resizing on window resize in web-irc.

[akavlie]

I think the chat contents should resize fluidly, but most other elements would be better off with fixed sizing.

The only real problem is with the logo correct?

[akavlie]

Yes and no... the sidebar needs a minimum width to show the logo, as well as channel names and unread counts.

[thedjpetersen]

At what resolution would the percentage resolution become a problem?

[akavlie]

I just tested it out, and it starts cutting off when the window is about 645px wide. Granted, that's narrower than users would typically be sizing their browser windows (other than on mobile).

[akavlie]

If you don't have any objections, I think I'll try a version of the layout without percentage sizing, and port my window resizing code from web-irc.

[thedjpetersen]

I'll checkout the code and get back to you as soon as possible.

[akavlie]

any thoughts?

[akavlie]

Changed top bars & input to be fixed height with absolute positioning. I think the fluid sizing can cause issues at very small horizontal sizes as well, but that's a relatively minor issue, and not likely to occur with normal usage.
