Template's layout, dimension size, fit to screen

A good Web page template layout fits to screen from vertical to horizontal screen aspect ratio. In order for my final project to translate into a up to date site I'm looking for a specific way to implement the functionality of the design in a browser to fit the whole screen without scroll bars going horizontal only vertical. if thats possible, How does a web designer who might work from his 11 inch laptop screen and one whose working from a 18 inch screen know their page layout will fill up the screen and design page like an artists fills up the canvas with paint. or one light in a room illuminates the entire perimeter. In other words what would the ideal number for a web templates size be in a 2 dimensional screen that will adjust its dimensions according to the dimensions of a screen.
This image is from widely used kickstarter and its a perfect example of how the woman at the top is in front of a balck background that streches from one end of the screen to the other and it doesnt require horizontal scroll bar to navigate from left to right only top to bottom. How did the designer code his template for it to do just that?

Make a black image that is as tall as you want the band at the top of the page to be, and let's say 100px wide. Make this image the background image for the page, with CSS style of repeat-x. That's all there is to it.

Movie that will automatically open in "fit to screen" view mode?

I'm wondering if it's possible to save a video in quicktime pro that will, when opened in any normal version of quicktime, automatically open in the "fit to screen" view option. In the visual settings tab of the movie properties, there is an option to automatically open into full screen, but this isn't what I want - I want it to open in the normal (non-fullscreen) quicktime window, but to automatically resize to fit the screen size of the computer it's being viewed on.
I'm pretty sure that there isn't any easy way to do this, but it's pretty important, so if it requires some scripting or something, that's fine - i'm not a programmer, but i'm willing to do whatever i need to, to make this work.
Thanks!

The "Presentation" option is a bit confusing as there are "user" settings that each viewer could have set (double size, Fit To Screen, etc) in the QuickTime preferences and all of them will play with the "on screen" controls feature of version 7. So "full screen" is different because of the dozens of display settings that may be used and the same for "fit to screen".
If you set the file dimensions too large for a small display setting the viewer will not be able to use the QuickTime controller (it could be "off screen).
I just checked all my AppleScripts and Automator actions and none include "fit to screen" options. No luck there.
If you set the movie dimensions (Visual Settings) to the "fit screen" size this would work on your display but maybe not on mine. To do that just open the Movie Info window with your file set to fit screen dimensions, note the size and adjust the file dimensions to those new values and "Save As".
Easiest method for your workflow would be to send instructions for viewing to the end users.
Keyboard shortcuts for QuickTime file display:
Command-0 (zero) = half size
Command-1 = normal size
Command-2 = double size
Command-3 = fit to screen
Command-F = full screen (presentation mode)

Automatic scale of Flash movie to fit different screen/browser sizes

Hi guys,
I am a mid level Flash user. I have a online portfolio site which I have had running for around 4 years.
The site at the moment is in its 4th incarnation as I keep growing tired of the layout and design and keep striving to improve it visually. The previous designs have always been at the standard 800x600px or slightly bigger. So when viewed on the majority of different screen sizes and browsers the site was always fully visible at 100%.
For the latest redesign I've opted for a much larger site size of 1024x768px. This is obviously alot clearer for the user and looks great when viewed on a 19" monitor and above. I for example have a 27" iMac so the site in my opinion looks great.
The problem I have is when the site is viewed on a smaller screen 17" and below, laptops etc. Due to the size of my Flash site if I view it on a laptop screen the side and bottom scroll bars obviously appear on the browser. I want to know if there is anyway that I can publish the Flash site so that whenever the site is viewed on whatever sized screen or browser it is always seen at 100% without scrollbars.
I have played about with the publish settings but can't seem to find a way to do this. I have also downloaded SWFFit (Flash Fit) but i'm not sure whether this will do the trick?
My site can be viewed at:
www.nineteeneightyone.co.uk
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I was a little confused when you mentioned wanting to "scale" the site and then you mentioned that "the site was always fully visible at 100%".
Now I understand that when you say 100%, you simply meant that all of the site was visible at the same time... no scrolling needed.
"whenever the site is viewed on whatever sized screen or browser it is always seen at 100% without scrollbars".
By this I assume you mean that the site is fully visible? not that you want to view the site at !00%... correct?
Typically when discussing Flash scaling, 100% mean 100% of the browser window, and has nothing to do with how much of the site is visible inside that window.
When looking at Flash scaling, there are a number of things to consider, width, height, aspect ratio, and the use/no use of scrollbars.
Using a size of 1024 X 768 is a good example of a size that will require scrollbars or downscaling in order to display in a Web browser on a 1024 X 768 monitor. A 1024 X 768 will only display about 1000px or less in width and of course with the Web browser address bars etc, a height of 600 or so would be more realistic. So by default, the size requires both horizontal and vert scroll bars when viewed on a 1024 X 768 monitor.
So what would be required to display the entire site without scrollbars? Well in this case, since only 600 px in height are available, the height has to be downscaled about 78% of the original height... so to maintain the same aspect ratio (the ratio of width to height), then the width was also be downscaled to about 78% or original or about 800 px wide... OK that's fine, but because the monitor is about 1000px wide, there will now be about 100 px unused space on the right and the left.
By default, Flash likes to maintain that aspect ratio, so that round things stay round and square things stay square. It just means that as you increase or decrease width or height, the corresponding dimension will also change.. decrease height.. and width decreases also.
Here is an old post that illustrates Flash scaling and how aspect ratio can be maintained or distorted:
Here are examples of different scaling parameters available in the Publish settings. You can also add these parameters directly in the html (<param name="scale" value="noscale"). All the examples replace the actual Flash dimensions with 100% for both width and height (width="100%" height="100%"). These examples use the old <object> and <embed> to illustrate the different ways to scale Flash. Once you understand how it works I’d recommend that you use swfobject to place the Flash in your final project.
View the source code for each page to see the full code.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/exact_fit.html
"exactFit" scales the file to fit exactly within the confines of the screen, irregardless if the movie becomes consequently distorted. The original aspect ratio is not maintained. So round things are not round and squares are not square.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/noScale.html
"noScale" is the default setting, and causes the movie to be displayed at the originally designed dimensions.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/no_border.html
"noBorder" causes the movie to be scaled to what ever dimensions are needed to have no border surrounding the movie within the player, which consequently could result in some of the movie being cut off from view. In other words, the movie will maintain the original aspect ratio and will fill the screen completely. But if the movie has to be streched wider to fill both sides of the screen, it will also stretch taller, but then some of the top and the bottom of the movie may be cut off from view.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/show_all.html
"showAll" scales the movie to the size of the screen (which could cause pixelation if the file contains raster information), the difference between showAll and exactFit is that showAll mantains initial movie size proportions. Because it maintains the original aspect ratio, there can be space to the sides or the top and bottom. But everything always shows and they are not distorted. But notice the photo in the center, it becomes pixilated at larger screen resolutions.
The trickiest part of trying to go full screen is that it’s difficult to make the Flash wider without making it taller also, that is, to maintain the correct proportions or aspect ratio of everything on the stage. These methods are just simple scaling accomplished with html. There are also methods to dynamically scale the stage and it’s elements using Actionscript… but that’s a much more complex undertaking.

How to adjust the AICC compliant CBT's to fit all screen sizes across browsers in Captivate 4

Hi,
I have made changed my Adobe Captivate 4 files to be AICC compliant by changing the Settings in Preferences.
When I publish the files, the standard.js file no longer adjusts the CBT's to fit all screen sizes across browsers, as it was doing before by adding the below code -
<style type="text/css"> html, body, #CaptivateContent { height:100%; }
body { text-align:center; margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden; }
</style>
Is there a way to scale Adobe Captivate AICC compliant files across different browsers?
Thanks!

That code doesn't go in the standard.js file but goes in the head of the HTM template used for AICC output.
Look in your Captivate install directory for the Templates > Publish > AICC > Default.HTM file and add the code there.

How to make website fit any screen size?

Hello all!
I am trying to make my website fits any screen size (desktop, tablet, mobile)
In Dreamweaver cs6, I go to file -multiscreen preview – Media Queries- make a CSS file for (site-wide) and click on the Default Presets and then find my CSS files for phone, tablet and desktop. But it does not work for my website, my site does not respond to the size of desktop, tablet or mobile. Can someone please help? Thank you.

The main rule to follow for a responsive design is be flexible.
That means no rigid dimensions, no absolute positioning and images that respond to the width of their containers.
The following typically breaks the rule of flexibility
#apDiv35 {
    position: absolute;
    width: 200px;
    height: 115px;
    z-index: 1;
That is but one example from your document out of more than 40.

Font size on home screen (Dimension Today theme)

Is there any way to INCREASE the font size?
Ness

Theme dictates default the font types to be displayed in different scenario. If you change the font size from Options --> Screen/Keybord it will affect everything but on home screen it will remain as it is and it can't be changed.

Firefox 7, mozilla doesn't open in the proper size where it fits the screen.

Where before it opens to fit the screen (not fullscreen) so now I always have to click the maximize button. Didn't happen before the update, how do I fix this?

Try ensuring when it closes it is already in the maximum view. When you close it

I do not think there were any recent changes that should affect how Firefox opens and closes when upgraded from Firefox 6 to 7 or 7.0.1

Presentation Notes, Fit to Screen

What I am basically having a problem with is that whenever I open a new keynote presentation, or open an already created one, I want it so that the presentation notes are always opened/viewed at the bottom and that the actual slide on the main window is set to 'fit to screen'.
Is this possible and if so, how do I make it so that I do not have to do this every time I want to use Keynote?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Go to the Keynote / Preferences / Slideshow Preferences menu and check the box marked "Scale slides up to fit display." Check any other boxes you wish as well. This should set the main slide window to be full-size on your screen whenever you boot-up Keynote.
Regarding the height of the Presenter Notes window at the bottom of the Edit Window, this can be resized by clicking-on and dragging the right-hand corner (with the two hash = marks) of the divider bar. Regrettably, I believe you will need to do this every time you create a new presentation, but it will remain as you have set it when you reopen it.
IF you use the same basic Theme and layout for all of your presentations, you could create a Template with the general formatting that you want to use and then Save it and Lock it in the Get Info window of the Finder. Then, when you open it, it will have a blank template ready to use; just Save-As under a new title and you will be ready to go.
Good Luck.

Web site fit to screen

I apologise if this is an old (or stupid!) question, but is there anything I can do to make my web site automatically fit the size of the screen being used to view the site?
Hope someone is happy to help an iWeb apprentice. My web site is www.lloydventures.com
Cheers....Scotty

Guys,
thanks so much for the replies. Firstly, apologies for the incomplete link. I know the http:// is needed. Just a typo this time.
The menu is done using template at http://www.opencube.com. I just take the modified code and paste it into widget. I then do not use either of the iWeb navigation options. There are some great menu versions at Open Cube (oh, and its free!).
Wrt to the width I set my web site, when you have an Apple iMac, you just want to hope everyone else does too! I will make my pages smaller as suggested. Its just a shame there isn't a 'fit to screen' option although that is probably a bit ambitious.
Cheers guys and thanks again.

How do i set it to fit to screen to print the entire file?

How do i set it to fit to screen to print the entire file? I have a file that is smaller than 8.5x11 but it says it's larger and clipping will occur and when I print it, it does not fit the paper. Ive even clicked the box that says Scale to Fit Paper Size and it's still giving me that message and cutting info off.
I also need to be able to size it by percentage so I can adjust it to fit into a pre made form Im working with.

First, I am new to this forum and I was told by Adobe that I would get help from Adobe as well as other users here, so that's why I posted. But nobody asked me for basic info about image dimensions and printing sizes. I never claimed to be an expert, just a basic user of PS, which is why Im asking for help. I've used this program for my basic needs which is probably 1/1000th of what PS is capable of, but it's what I've used and I've always had success doing what I needed to do with it. If you can help, I very much appreciate it but if you just want to slam me and say you don't believe what I say, then that's not really helpful. Since nobody else responded to this post with any offers for help, the info you seek is below. If you have any thoughts on how to help, I greatly appreciate it.
Im not sure how the image dimensions apply to my question at all but here they are: 3300x2550 with a 300 dpi resolution.
Im simply trying to get the program to allow me to fit the image to the paper Im printing and adjust it as necessary to make it fit a partially pre-printed form I need for work and in every PS version I've used that I can recall, it allowed that. It certainly allowed it, using the same printers Im using now, in CS5.
Also, you mentioned that the printer driver handles this but I can do this in every other program I have on this computer with the same printers, from Numbers (it's a Mac) to Preview to Mac Mail so why wouldn't it do the same thing in PS? That's what Im trying to find out here and with most software, I can pick up a phone or get on a one-on-one chat and get help, but apparently not with PS and since it's not a cheap program, I expected more. I never needed to call for help before using this new version, so that's something I need to consider.
Again, if you are able to help, I appreciate it. Thanks!

How to scale my stage to fit smaller screens?

I'd like to resize the whole stage (while keeping my width/height ratio) to fit smaller screens until it reaches its minimum dimensions (let's say 75% of the original size). I thought of using the css property "zoom" but nothing have worked yet. My default stage dimensions are set to 1024px by 728px.
Thank you very much!

It works great but it seems like we can't set a maximum width/height... I would like my stage to "grow" until it reaches its maximum size (1024 x 768) even if the screen is larger than those dimensions.

Websites i search are weirdly shaped and are not fitting the screen well.

Whenever i open something, It doesn't fit the screen well and i constantly have to scroll right and left when i am doing work. Also on top, the tabs are much larger than they were before and zooming in or out does not affect the tab size.

How do I make PDFs OPEN and fit my screen?

Every time I open a PDF, the document opens larger than my screen. How do I make the document fit the screen I have?
This is absolutely NOT a zoom problem.
I have a 15 inch laptop. It has a screen that is about 12 inches wide x 7.5 inches high.
I open a PDF, and the document opens on my screen so that the entire document is more like 13 inches wide, and 10 inches high. The top menu bar, where I would grab to move, change zoom, enlarge, or, for that matter, CLOSE the document is like 2-2.5 inches OFF the TOP of my screen.
I can change zoom - it only changes the size of the contents in the window, never the actual window size, and the problem is the window size.
So the question is, why does PDF even open a window larger than my screen supports, and how do I stop it.
This is not new - this should by now be a known serious flaw with Adobe Reader and Acrobat and regularly happens with PDFs, and has for years. If I have a second monitor, I can drag the side of the window over onto my second monitor, and then shrink it. But, if I am traveling, so without my second monitor, it effectively means the only thing I can do with any PDF is right click on the bottom menu bar and "Close all windows"

Making A Row Of Thumbnails The Same Size As The Screen Monitor No Matter What Montior You Use

I am making a website and am trying to get the row of thumbnails/cells (which contain 5 thumbnails across each set in a cell) to be the same length as the screen monitor so that you do not have to scroll horizontally across to see more cells/thumbnails in the table.
Here is the thing. When I first started making tables, I was making actual pixels to fit MY screen size, but then I found when I looked at the website on another computer the tables came out different sizes (because of different size monitors I assume). So, I changed the tables from pixels to 100% and that seemed to do the trick. Whatever computer I pulled the website up on, the tables extend perfectly across the monitor screen to its fullest extent and without having to scroll horizontally.
The next part of the website involved adding thumbnails of images. So I made a table 6 rows across by 5 columns down. And I put a thumbnail in each cell, so that 5 thumbnails went across the row. I also set the table width to 100% just like I previously did for my heading table. When I tested it on a laptop computer it seemed perfectly fine and the 5 cells in the row extended across exactly to the length of the monitor. But, then when I opened it up on a desktop computer, I had a problem. What you see is 4 of the columns on the monitor and then the fifth column is further to the right off the screen, which makes you have to move a horizontal scroll bar to see the fifth column. This table is also not flush with the heading table either obviously, although I have both set to 100%.
I don't know if my problem has to do with the table I made or the image sizes in Photoshop. In photoshop after I had scanned the image I went to "Image Size" and reduced the "document size" width to 1.5 cm to make the image come out a lot smaller. Should I be doing something different in Photoshop when changing the "Image Size"? Maybe saving it as a different measurement (choices are percent, inches, cm, mm, points, picas, columns)? Or, do I need to change something with my table/cells?
Anyone know?
Thanks.
P.S. I will post this in Dreamweaver and Photoshop, to get a little more help.

If I have to accept the fact that this table I made can't fit each person's monitor screen, then ok, but at least have it to where all the tables are flush with each other. If you take a look at the website URL I posted, every table I made for this page is set to 100%. No matter what computer I pull up the webpage, the heading tables and bottom copyright table come out to 100% of the screen size like it should. It is the tables I have for the pictures that extend pass this and make a horizontal scroll bar necessary and are thus not flush with the other tables. And,I figured out why. When I resized my images in Photoshop, I set the width of each thumbnail to 177 px. I also have 30 px padding on both the left and the right side of each cell (60 px total). So, calculating this we have: (177 px x 5 images across = 885 px) + (60 px padding x 5 cells across = 300 px) = 1185 px....an EXACT amount (which is MORE than my screen width) and OVERRIDES the 100% I set for the table. Therein lies the problem.
So, what I need to figure out is how to make either the cells or images adjust accordingly to fit the actual width of the monitor; 5 cells across = 20% each cell = 100% grand total across.
Follow me so far?
I know there has to be a way. I've seen other pages that can do it. I will keep trying and eventually figure it out.
Thanks for the help.
From http://www.awdsf.com/courseware/html/html2_tables.htm:
" A website that requires side scrolling is considered very un-professional."
And I couldn't agree more with this statement.
