nearly perfect
by michad·4 years ago
Actually the look is very good for one display size. But when working with different display sizes with same settings, sometimes pictures are overlaying. What I would really like to see is a “max column” setting instead of a fixed one. E.g. with my settings of images I would be happy with 1 column if width is below 600 pixels and I’m happy with 3 columns if width is above 950 pixels. But in the range in between 2 columns would be perfekt. Unfortunately it only “scales” from 1 directly to 3 columns. I guess the 600 pixels is a setting of my theme, at which it switches to mobile view.
Good, very good
