Support for multi-monitor setup (menus and icons not in the invisible area) is the killer feature for me. -- kind regards Marco Send spam to 1749202240muell@stinkedores.dorfdsl.de

Of all things, WindowMaker - mostly because it's a bit more featureful than bare-bones roll-your-own-desktop options like FVWM while still being fairly lightweight and customizable, and it's also designed for a layout that naturally "letterboxes" today's absolutely inescapable widescreen displays (which I loathe) with "reserved" columns on both sides that make maximized windows conform to something a little closer to a more natural 4:3 aspect ratio. You can do that with roll-your-own panel-based WM/DEs, but it's nice to have it right out of the box.

With tiling WMs, I guess an approach to widescreen is to have a display big enough that you can comfortably have two tiles/panes side-by-side. But yeah, I really can't see the value in having *less* vertical room. Unless a widescreen display is good to use rotated, I fear it ends up being a disadvantage. But I suppose widescreen displays make up most of what can be usually purchased these days? -- Nuno Silva

Yeah, that's an option as well, but I think it works better with desktop displays. On a laptop it's hard not to look at "center field" rather than focus on one half or the other of the screen. > But yeah, I really can't see the value in having *less* vertical > room.

Yup - the vast majority of desktop displays are 16:9 or (if you're lucky) 16:10. Laptops are actually a bit better than they used to be, since the Chromebook introduced 3:2 as a standard, but it's still in the minority :/

The economies of scale from using LCD panels that are "TV aspect ratio" is just too cheap to ignore.

No problem. I have two monitors on my machine; the older one is 4:3 and the newer one is 16:9. Both are filled up with xterm windows plus an instance of VirtualBox running Windows XP.

Even widescreen TV's are overrated. "Widescreen" has always been "chasing the movies" because the mouth breathers can't understand why their latest remake of X has those black bars on the top and bottom of the picture. 4:3 was the original (way back) movie aspect ratio. When TV was created, it copied 4:3 because that's what the movies were set to. The result was the movies then felt they had to "1 up" to maintain their reason for being and they became 16:9 aspect. That was, until TV's went 16:9 and the movies had then gone "ultra wide" to maintain their 1 upsmanship. With the result that the mouth breathers now have to sometimes contend with black bars on top, or on the sides, of whatever they are streaming at the moment, depending upon what year it was filmed.

And since...it is futile to reason someone out of a thing that he was not reasoned into, we can conclude that Marxism owes its remarkable power to survive every criticism to the fact that it is not a truth-directed but a power-directed system of thought.” Sir Roger Scruton

IT was, for *some* movies, better. Those movies which showed wide vistas and expanses, but for other movies, like Naked Gun or Sliding Doors, its pointless. For computers, it leads to wasted space. Open up many webpages and notice how much blank space is on the sides. I've just gone to news.com.au, and HALF the screen is just blank white space. Mobiles are portrait, heavily so, desktops widescreen, heavily so, so this results in just a mismatch.

I've just gone to news.com.au, and HALF the screen is just > blank white space. I just went to news.com.au, and only half of my one wide-screen monitor is occupied by the Firefox window showing news.com.au. The rest of the wide screen shows two other Firefox windows that are presently 'behind' the one displaying news.com.au. Now, in the news.com.au window, the HTML/CSS of news.com.au is itself only using about 3/4 of the width of the window it has available, with about a 1/4 width margin of whitespace on the right of the story slugs. So yes, news.com.au is not trying to fill out the space they are given. So whomever their "designer" was is at fault here. > Mobiles are portrait, heavily so, desktops widescreen, heavily so, so > this results in just a mismatch. And HTML is designed to adapt to whatever viewing portal it has available. That is if it were not for "designers" who have a "vision" of how things should look "just so", and assume that everyone shares their "vision" and then proceed to force HTML to bend to their "vision".

Quite. It works pretty well for me. Some specific use cases: * Side-by-side code diffs * Two or more source files side by side * Terminal one on side, source on the other * In portrait orientation, PDF specs -- https://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/

That may be the designer understanding that beyond a point, using *horizontal* space is a bad idea, unless they have something that actually goes well with that. >> Mobiles are portrait, heavily so, desktops widescreen, heavily so, so >> this results in just a mismatch. > > And HTML is designed to adapt to whatever viewing portal it has > available.

HTML should never have evolved into the mess where sites prioritize "looks the same everywhere" and where Google actively boosts sites which *add* code to tell Google's browsers "it's okay to handle this as HTML and 'zoom' as you see fit". (The end result was that ad-ridden content scrappers ended up boosted... and nowadays, with or without they intentionally screwing search results for "more engagement", Google Web Search still seems to prioritize useless javascript-ridden or https-enforcing websites over more usable options.) -- Nuno Silva

I was thinking, there may be an issue with Microsoft Office users getting annoyed with widescreen monitors. This is because the (in)famous Office “Ribbon” was designed in the days before such monitors became popular. So by taking up space along the short dimension, it reduces the available area for showing your document content, particularly if your pages are portrait-oriented, as most written documents are. LibreOffice doesn’t suffer from this problem: it has a “Sidebar” which -- you guessed it -- sits along the side, taking up space along the dimension which already has lots of it to spare.
