Elmojo Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Thanks for all the support, folks! I think we're at the point now where hopefully the devs will take notice. I have no clue what the threshold is for when a feature request becomes popular enough to gain consideration for integration into a release, but this seems like a fairly easy one to implement, so maybe we'll see it sooner rather than later. Or perhaps this is all wishful thinking, and it'll never happen. lol Quote Link to comment
Arbadacarba Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Adding my vote to this... I have a fair number of drives but still have to scroll to see info in column 1 Quote Link to comment
Danno3093 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 +1 I would like to have this implemented so that my dashboard is not so lopsided. Quote Link to comment
jpowell8672 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 +1 would love this feature please Quote Link to comment

ZoomZoomer Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 +1. Left column is bloated. Quote Link to comment
nekkidtruth Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Really surprised this is still not implemented. Add me to the list of people who want to see this ASAP! Quote Link to comment
adminmat Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 +1 lol My left column is a mile long Quote Link to comment
gamertaboo Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 +1 just figured out that I can move the things within their columns freely but not between columns. Like others stated my column on the left has the bulk and the center and right columns have just a couple things. Blew my mind I couldn't drag stuff over to organize them and make them equal lengths. At the very least make it split them equally between the columns and then we can organize better that way! Thanks. Quote Link to comment

The "columns" are 3 sections, the last two flow between being side by side or stacked, depending on your browser width. If you make your browser narrower, the "middle" and "right" stack to become very close to the length of the "left" block. You are just being penalized for expanding the width of your browser past the design intent. 🙂 Seriously though, free placement of all items would be nice, the sticky part is how you handle displaying it to different browser widths. If you open the site in a tall skinny browser like a mobile phone in portrait mode, do you force left right scrolling, or do you flow everything vertical? If the browser is then expanded side to side, do you create more and more columns? (Disclaimer, I am not a web developer, or involved in any way with the layout or design of Unraid. I'm just pointing out that it's not quite as simple as it sounds on the surface to make things look good for multiple layouts simultaneously) Quote Link to comment

Can you provide an example of how to make it do this? If the dashboard would work this way, I doubt we all would be complaining so much, since that would provide at least a workaround for how to get things into a bit more balanced view. When I resize my browser, all that happens is it cuts off the right column and adds a horizontal scroll. Please tell me I'm missing something, this would be awesome! Quote Link to comment

I tried all three of the above browsers and it works just as @JonathanM described and in the video clip. Narrow the browser window and the GUI resizes to fewer, longer columns. Quote Link to comment
Elmojo Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 That's very interesting, as mine does not display that behavior. I would assume that it doesn't work that way for others either, or there wouldn't be so much support for this issue to be resolved. Are you both @JonathanM and @Hoopster accessing the dashboard through a standard url? I mean, there's not an app or anything, is there? I have to assume this is on a desktop PC, right? I can't imagine how you'd be able to resize the window otherwise. Are you using some sort of dashboard plugin perhaps that adds that functionality? I don't know how to create and post a gif like that, or I could demonstrate that mine doesn't work the way shown above. Quote Link to comment

The screengrab was firefox on linux mint, but it acts exactly the same on windows, I just verified on another system. I used simplescreenrecorder on linux to capture the video clip.

Elmojo Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Well I just don't know what to tell you then. Mine absolutely does not do that, on any browser. I'm on Windows 10 x64. If mine did as shown in your gif, I would never have created this thread, since I often run my dashboard in a non-maximized window and would have noticed that behavior right away. Really strange. I'll be interested to hear from others as to whether theirs acts as yours, or more like mine. I can't imagine what sort of environmental variable or system configuration could account for the difference. Quote Link to comment

This gives me 2 columns on my laptop in chrome, full width. If I change Scale to 100%, I get 3 columns. And on our desktop, this gives me 3 columns in chrome, full width. If I resize the browser to about 2/3 full width, I get 2 columns Quote Link to comment

Below is iPhone screenshot: 1 hour ago, Elmojo said: Are you using some sort of dashboard plugin perhaps that adds that functionality? Nope. Obviously, you do not see this behavior but it appears to be the "normal" behavior. Something on your system must be preventing it. Quote Link to comment
Hoopster Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 @Elmojo My desktop and laptop Windows machines have the same scale and display resolution settings as those noted by @trurl. Quote Link to comment
Elmojo Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Well that's just nuts. So it appears that for some of us, it's working fairly well, and resizing columns to fit the available window space, pretty much as you'd expect. For the rest of us (all those who have added their +1's to this thread), the columns are fixed at 3, and don't resize at all. Changing the browser window size only adds scroll bars, as though the page layout was fixed, and not responsive at all. Really odd. I don't have a clue how to explain that. Hopefully one of the devs will eventually see this and can perhaps explain why it happens and more importantly, can proposed a solution for those of us whose dashboards are not operating "as designed". This has just gone from a feature request to a bug report, I think. Quote Link to comment
