I just started the task of evaluating whether or not, and how hard/easy it would be, to update my current website from RW Classic to Elements. I am on a M2 15” MacBook Air.
First thing I did was go to Theme Studio and add my custom fonts; I used .woff files. Then I created a ‘My Brand’ custom color. Both were easy to do.
Toggling between Elements and Safari preview, I was struck by how ‘zoomed in’ the Elements workspace is compared to the browser. I longed for a way to ‘command +/-’ the screen to get it to be more WYSIWYG but could not find it.
Attached is a screen grab comparing the two. I also looked at the North Eleven template and see it is the same. Am I missing anything? If not, van you address this. It’s a waste of space and is jarring.
Down in the lower right of your Elements view you’ll see this:
If it isn’t 100%, then you’re not set up for essentially true sizing in the main window. But even on my big desktop I rarely am at 100% because I prefer having panels open and accessible, and with everything open I can’t hit 100%.
It is 100%, but that isn’t WYSIWYG. I’d like some control over reducing that %-age so the actual content I am building in the Elements window is the same as the browser, regardless of the size of my Mac screen. I shouldn’t have to close or float my panels to get an accurate browser layout view…and even doing that, everything is just way bigger. (See the attached image of the Elements Safari Preview (at 50% opacity) overlaid on the Elements window) @differentdan
I am always SO cautious of the zoom level I am using in my browsers…but you are right on this one! It was larger than 100%. I seem to have spec’d my font sizes and other graphic elements too large. Thanks for calling my attention to my blunder.
