Interface layout

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Interface layout

Post by malc-c »

I've tried searching to see if this has been covered before, but couldn't see anything.

Is there any way to change the layout of the pages. These days most computers have screens that are capable of running at 1920 x 1080, so why does MX not use this area. When running, all the graphs, gauges and dashboard is centred on the page, but requires scrolling to see a lot of the information. Yet half the available area borders the data. You could easily have 6 columns, possibly 7 and thus everything would fit in one full screen window of the browser.
Regards

Malcolm

Thanks for the reply Paul.

Not quite what I was looking for. I've used paint to make up an image of what I was trying to get over

By moving things around a little all tiles can fit on one single page without the need to scroll up or down (ignore the scroll bar on the right, it came from the original screen capture which had tiles off screen)

I don't use CumulusMX full time as still on Cumulus 1, but my point was intended to show that the MX interface is fully user editable/determined
I wanted a slightly 'brighter' interface. Now that Steve has given us a browser based GUI of course this is a simple thing to customise however you want.
May be I am not understanding what you are trying to do.

Enjoy,
Paul

The UI uses Bootstrap in order to be 'responsive' and adapt to various sizes of device displays (and there are more mobile devices in use worldwide than desktops). If you want to modify the layout, you will need to look at the relevant HTML on the UI pages (in the 'interface' folder) and use the Bootstrap documentation.
