Hi!

First, I just have to say that I'm a huge fan of Wikipedia, and as soon as I get my hands on some money, I'm gonna make donations (currently a student..:P)

Congratulation with your new appearance. I like the new look of wikipedia, but there is something I miss. It would have been great to have the possibility to minimize the toolbar on the left. Cause when one zoom in in a browser (firefox, opera++) the margin is fixed and the toolbar expand proportional to the rest. The result is a toolbar that covers more and more of the field. This serves no purpose, and greatly reduce the comfort of reading the article. I don't know if this is just a problem in Opera, but I suspect that firefox has the same issue.


Sincerely yours,

I'll leave the final answer up to Trevor, but as far as I know this is deliberate: everything on the page should scale.
Comment 2 Trevor Parscal 2010-06-01 20:55:59 UTC
Well, if the margin on the left doesn't expand, there wouldn't be any room for the larger text within it. We are currently looking into the impact of adjusting the size of the text in our user interface and article content, so thank you for your input.
