Opera does it already, so it wouldn't be such an unique feature. It would be nice, though. I've just tried in on Opera, an I LOVE it. It makes it possible to view/read all those obnoxious sites with hardcoded small fontsizes on highresolution screens (ie 1600x1200 and above) without breaking the layout. Just had an idea how to implement this feature: KHTML could have two modes: relayout and locklayout. So normally (like now) it is in relayout mode, means if you change window or font size, the site is rerendered according to available space. When pressing the 'lock layout' button, font size and everything else is locked, and you can then zoom the site just like in KPDF: smooth (CTRL+)Wheel scrolling. Images and everything else is scaled the same amount, and it should crash on embedded content.. ehh... cleverly scale that aswell somehow (overlayscalemagic)?! BTW, that PDF zooming is some cool sh1at.. ! comments, please. Bug 42029 is a duplicate of this? Btw, it would be a really cool reature I meant feature of couse, but isn't there a way to edit our comments? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 42029 *** NO, this is NOT the same as #42029. It is about sooming into the rendered view of a website smoothly (=> like KPDF middle button zooming). Scaling the images with font resize is a different matter. Sorry, it is the same thing. In order to do the zooming the way you want, we would have unit-resizing, which in turn would make images resize as well. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 42029 *** Mhh.. but does unit-resizing keep the exact same layout? I mean in Opera, fonts and images resize and are fit to the view width, which is not what I mean. I mean actual zooming in! Yes, the idea is that it would keep the same layout, otherwise it wouldn't be "zooming". I don't see the point in increasing fonts and images, but not frames, so my understanding is that bug 42029 is what you're asking. Also, zooming isn't just increasing font sizes because CSS rules can make fonts have fixed sizes, and we want to scale even those. |
Version: 3.3.92 (using KDE 3.3.92 (beta2), Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.4.3 20041125 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.3-r1, ssp-3.4.3-0, pie-8.7.7) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.10-gentoo-r7 By this I mean the page gets rendered at the default font size, and what is now 'font resize' gets replaced by a zoom which does actually scale the rendered page including all content (like f.e. a PDF document in KPDF), probably even stepless ('smooth'). This would be a feature unique to Konqueror; I think it would look much better (more 'paper document' like and thus, more natural) and solve some issues like images not being resized and other problems with font resizing.. That said, I have no idea how to implement this. Please comment if you like the idea.
