My pleasure ;)
I had written an earlier email to the list, that somehow
didn't make it through (maybe spam filter or something).
Well, the reason for the 87% was that at 1024x768, which
still is the most common used screen size, it requires about
87% to keep all the text below the panorama on-screen,
including the (optional) audio track controller.
What i've added today is - since we're using Javascript for
the EOLAS patent avoider anyway - a Javascript snippet that
reads the effective height of the window, subtracts 90
pixels (the average height of the text below the pano, plus
some safety margin), and uses the result as "height in
pixels" instead of the percent.
Consider this "beta" - it works, but i'm not sure if my
fellow admins think it's a good idea. I'm waiting for comments.
This solution comes at a price: The panorama will not resize
automatically if you drag the window bigger or smaller,
since the size is calculated one time on loading. The
earlier solution (the "percent" measurement) would adapt to
dragging the window size with the mouse. The new one
doesn't. I'm not sure how this affects the user experience,
if at all. Any opinions on that?
