I dislike fixed-width pages, particularly when something like a
right-side navigation panel is off-screen.
I found that the following changes let me run SPT Blue to at least as
small as 640x480 with a somewhat large font. The browser still updates
quickly, even on a 133MHz machine, probably because there isn't much
text on most pages so table resize doesn't take long.
Most of the changes simply remove width definitions.
An important item is to shrink the number of characters shown in the
displayed URL, from 60 to about 40. With long URLs, that is what was
determining the width of the Resources tables.
If the stuff at the bottom of a page ends up being too long, you can
customize your StandardPageEnd. With 1.1.1, the width of that text
depends upon your definition of the Legal/Copyright notice.
When viewing a Full Record, the URL does not wrap and tends to determine
the page width. I didn't alter that.
