I didn't feel right putting this in the support section because it's a minor thing.
Recently upgraded from 3.3 to 3.8. This isn't related to the version though.
My old forum header image was 300 wide by 100 high. In the common.css file, I set the numbers there to match the image.
How it actually displayed was 375x125
Why? I don't know... but I liked the size it was displaying at so, I made my new image that size. Set the common.css to those numbers...
And, it's displaying larger than that.
Yeah, I inspect like that often enough, which has helped me figure out what I want to tweak for my colors.
And it shows those numbers but, it displays bigger than that. I am wondering if it is something in my browser or some other settings that's causing it to display larger. Even here, I'm inspecting this page to look at my avatar size. It's 120x106 but it's displaying to me more like 150x132
How I am seeing this, other than my eyes looking at it and seeing that my image is larger than the one I just created... is using the snipping tool and pasting in Gimp and then selecting the image and, my eyes were not deceiving me... it's just displaying larger than it says it is.
Checked at least one browser setting that shows things should be displaying at 100%. I'll have to keep investigating this. Maybe it's a pc setting? hmmm...
hmm... system>display>scale & layout >scale is set at 125%. It shows that's what's recommended.
I wonder why. But this does explain it. 120 times 1.25 = 150, which is how my avatar is displaying to me on this page.
I don't mind seeing things a little larger but, this would(i assume) affect image quality.
Why would windows recommend the scale to be 125%?
hmmm
