Description Harald Sitter 2014-02-21 12:28:52 UTC 
when increasing the widget of the discover window the banner navigation changes width along with the category view etc. this means that the navigation will almost never be the same size as the actual featured image, which causes very odd appearance.

either the navigation width should not scale, or the entire view should stop (i.e. make the width static).

another option would probably be to draw a black rect behind the picture such that it gets a scaling frame, whether or not that looks weird ought to be tested though (it might ;))

result would be like this (b=back, i=image, n=navigation, c=category):

   bbbbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibbbb
   bbbbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibbbb
   bbbbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibbbb
   nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Add a small frame around the featured banner

Helps by giving a visual clue about where's the banner.
