That is from the default localstore.rdf that provides the default positions and
sizes for new profiles.
Since we want Mozilla to work in 640x480 mode, we can't just let 3pane be
110x211 pixels offscreen at startup. That's just wrong, and it will give the
user a bad first experience with mailnews.
So I propose this: let's modify the values to give the user a window that is
onscreen and a reasonable size at the first startup.

This is worse than some people might think, especially for those with small
screens. I know mpt whined about this in #mozilla today for example...

Same as for the browser, bug 68941: that is, origin at (4,4), and dimensions of
(632,450). (Don't bother trying to share these dimensions between components,
because they'll start being different once we have smarter window geometry.)

The latest screenshot is how it looks for me after my fix.
I created a new profile, and just clicked the mailnews button once I saw the
first initial browser window so this is how it looks for a first time user.
Note that the Account Wizard hides the 3-pane a bit (I think that one is a bit
too large), but please ignore that in this bug.
This change looks good to me, I will file a bug about the Account Wizars sizing
though. Thoughts?

Tried it in 640x480, and it worked very nice compared to before.
Requesting r= and sr= on the upcoming patch.

If you r=/sr= this little fix, then you might was well go ahead and review the
browser-change included in the patch and note it in bug 68941.
Thanks!

It's the same patch as in bug 68941. If I were anal retentive at all, this would
make me bark. Phbbbbb. OK, r=danm, visiting from that other bug.

CC alecf for sr=.
Alec, this is the same patch as the other bug but is about the other part of the
patch. It's a really small code change.

Build 2001-06-26-03: WinMe
What should I expect to see? Should the entire window be in view and not
cut-off? If this is the case then this bug should be reopened. I created a new
profile and launched mail from the browser window (the browser window is similar
to the mail window).
- 640x480: The top left portion of the mail window appears, the entire window
does not fit in the screen.
- 800x600: Similar results

Nbaca, a few questions:
1. That's from a new profile where you haven't move the 3pane, right? (just
checking)
2. Can you try this with a Mozilla nightly? May be something NS-specific.

2. Yes, I'll try a mozilla build.

Using a build from 2001-06-27, the Mozilla build looks good in 640x480 and
800x600!
Trunk Commercial build 2001-06-27: doesn't appear to have the fix.
Branch Commercial build 2001-06-27-08: doesn't appear to have the fix.
Does anyone know when this fix will appear, atleast on the trunk?
Comment 23•23 years ago

there is probably a commercial-only localstore.rdf that needs to be modified..
Comment 24•23 years ago

I created Bugscape bug# 6898 to cover the commercial problem.
Marking this bug Resolved/Fixed.
