Better Support for Wide Monitors

Posted on the 07 April 2018 by Hmcurator

First technical change for the Harvey Mercheum website for its fourth year of operation! I typically work on and view the Harvey Mercheum website in an Internet browser on a Windows computer. This used to mean a screen resolution of 1280 x 1024, which resulted in the screen looking like this:

This is how I wanted it to look, with just a bit of the background image showing around the edges. When I got my new desktop computer, I noticed that the website did not scale nicely to take advantage of the wide aspect ratio monitor:

I have made some changes to the website theme settings to restore its appearance. It now looks like this at 1920×1080 resolution:

Normal aspect ratio monitors, and all smart phones or tablets should not be affected. Please let me know in the comments below, or use the Contact the Curator form, if there are any problems with how the website looks!
