how about centering the viewable area for larger screens?

Hello,

The In-portal is based on the templates system. Templates build from HTML/XHTML and In-portal tags. All you need to do is adjust/add a few attributes of main HTML tables and may be add some as well, but it would be a pretty easy task for someone who work with HTML at least a little.

Thank you.

Maybe you should do that, most sites that get stuck on the left side on bigger screens look incomplete

Hello,

Well, It is very easy to do and if you are planning to change/customize the look and feel of your In-portal, I am sure you'll be capable to manage that yourself. Please note, that we can post the instructions for that in FAQ section if it seems to be complicated for you.

Thanks

Dmitry,

I've centered all the tables, and I must agree with chas2u, it looks so much better now on larger screens.
Can't you implement this in the default themes?

Hello Theo,

Well, I understand that it look better better, but I can give at least one major reason why it would take more trouble for us to make all this changes in templates. Imagine if we make such a change (20 or more templates) in the next release, how easy for users would it be to update template to keep their existing work. That's why we only make necessary changes related to new functionalities or fixes.

I hope you understand that it's not hard to do for us, but we need to think about everyone. I believe it is very easy and minor change and users should be capable of making it themselves

Thank you.
