Those With High-Res Displays: How's Facebook Looking Now?

[kolax]

I had the high-res 15" MacBook Pro, but returned it because I didn't like the small fonts. Well, Facebook's new look has really small fonts. I'm actually not that bothered by them to be honest.. making me think that I could adjust to the high-res one day.

Anyway, my question is, what does Facebook look like on the high-res displays now? The fonts much be even smaller now!

Do default font sizes really matter anymore when a simple two finger gesture makes them bigger?

I don't understand why Facebook would want to make the font in News Feed smaller.

Oh, I forgot Facebook was centered for widescreen monitors. I have a 4:3 monitor

Looks fine to me (15" hi-res mat display).

Two reasons.

1) Increasing a font size on a webpage can cause the layout to be deformed.
2) Increasing the zoom of a webpage as a whole causes images to be pixelated.

If the website is properly formatted those problems shouldn't be an issue.

Try it. We don't have a resolution independent web yet.

The small font Facebook pages are okay when zoomed, but not perfect. You will find minor table issues and a few other things, but it shouldn't deter you.

The tiny fonts in the browser tabs and the entire menu system will probably drive you crazy, though.

I agree with you that we need Windows-style Large Fonts options.

We don't even have a resolution independent OS yet. :|
