Suggestion for Pale Moon 25: Centered print preview

Unread post by KNTRO » 2014-09-07, 00:16

Hi all,

I'd like to suggest a little idea for coming Pale Moon 25: when showing a print preview it's set to the left screen of the screen. Could you center that preview, just like when displaying a PDF file?

Thanks.

Printing uses shared backend code. I wonder if it would be just that simple? Then again Most print preview screens do not do this.. But hey! If it can be done without much trouble, I'll write the patch my self. Otherwise our fearless leader may have to look into it.

I looked for a straightforward solution for this but so far haven't found anything. The code behind print preview is actually rather touchy, I found out a while back, so it's probably a tough cookie.

Oh, seems like I asked for the Moon and the Sun, the birds in the sky. :D

OK, fellas, no problem. If this can't be done, it can't be done. It was a really minor suggestion after all.

Thank you both for reading this post anyway!

It isn't that it can't be done it is that it can't be done easily right now and needs more research into it. For now a minor visual change has to take a back seat to other more major things.
