Feature request - flexible layout configuration
pavelu —Wed, 05/12/2010 - 14:10
How about customizable layout. What I mean is: there are (for instance) 3 by 3 windows, but I'd like to have one big over 4 other (2x2) so I can see content of the big one more clearly.
The reason is that I look at refreshed preview windows so I don't actually need to visit the page. E.g.facebook, various pages with charts etc.
Te point is to allow various preview size in single fast dial.
What do you think?
Regards Pavel

Fast Dial does not have a software developer at the moment....
I find preview works extremely well, especially with the auto-refresh option.
Unclear of the benefits of different size previews...
What is it do you find that present Preview does not give ?
many thanks

since there's no developer there is no point in explaining, anyway thanks for the reply

But surely in a sense, the normal logo made by fast dial is a "small preview"
since there's no developer there is no point in explaining
why not ?
There might be some solution to your question

Sure, but Preview already works like that and very well.
Even includes auto-refresh settings option

It behaves a little like preview, but the window that it opens is an active one...
Quite interesting...
