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?

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

most simply said: various preview sizes at the same time so one could use big ones for actually checking out websites while the small one would be merely fast dial
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

I think (s)he is suggesting a way to view a webpage in fast dial to quickly check for updates ect. Without having to leave fast dial. Kinda like a frame...

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

Using CoolPreviews on the Fast Dial page is quite novel.

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

Quite interesting...
