Auto-scaling to screen resolution

[jelmer1719]

Description

Could you consider implementing a feature where the app icons automatically scale according to the screen resolution? It's quite messy when I use the site on different resolutions.

Medium (Would be very useful)

Our current system may not be that intuitive.
There was a big discussion on discord recently in this thread:
https://discord.com/channels/972958686051962910/1220770311700484268

Basically, it's not messy per say.
Each board has 3 layouts, one small, one medium and one large. Most user only encounter 1 layout and when they end up making the window smaller, see their icons and widgets completely in the wrong places.
That's normal, it's just that it changed layout. You just need to configure it to your liking (again).
This won't affect the layout you originally made on the other screen size.
It is done this way so the users have full control on how the page look on different devices.

Won't fix as this will be probably thought about by @Meierschlumpf in V1.0.0

A pity this has been closed. I do not agree with @SeDemal that Homarr is not messy. It's the most messy interface I have seen in any type of visualization ever. :) The "small layout" doesn't even change the font size so all buttons have one or two characters in that layout. With a smaller font you could have 10 or more.

Also, your solution runs in a webbrowser so I wouldn't know why you wouldn't work with fixed blocks and fixed sizes in your CSS (etc.). As we can have more than one dashboard people can make a dashboard per device. Right now it looks "ugly but ok" in the layout you build your dashboard in ... and the second you move a thing it's simply messy and not usable.

Unfortunately, for myself, this is one of the two reasons why I am not using it (the other one being the weird disconnect between integrations and their widgets).

Thanks for the honest feedback @DorianTheGrey . I share some of your dissapointments in the current version of Homarr. The architecture of the current Homarr is a bit limiting in multiple way - hence we have not fixed this problem yet. But we've been cooking on a new version (see #1993) which should fix most of your concerns.

• We improved performance and auto-scaling a lot in 1.0. Your dashboards should scale much more nicely with your screens and managing the layout has been simplified.
• Please create an issue or a support request in our Discord. This obviously shouldn't happen and we'll help you troubleshoot your setup. Homarr 1.0 also improves greatly on this, as we implemented an asynchronous job system which fetches data in a more organized manner.

You can already try out 1.0 today (see #1993) but it is not production ready (some bugs, unfinished).
