[Phpmyadmin-devel] going to 82% by default ?

Hi, after reading the arguments about this from Florian, Sebastian, Isaac and Juergen, I think it's better for the majority of our users (with the default browser font size of 16) to set our default font size to 82%. Why 82% ? I experimented and this gives a good compromise (the monospace fonts look better than in 80%, for example in the Rows stats). Comments? Marc

I still think 100% is the only correct value and I always hate sites, which set smaller fonts than I have configured. However I understand that majority of people is not able to configure their browser... -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

ok, but let's have a config value then (with 100% in config.default.php) Michal Čihař wrote:

I thought about that (I even suggested it on IRC) but now I think that, since many providers and schools install a central version of PMA (without touching the default value much), it will do a better service to those users if we put a smaller default value.

well, I do also prefer a 82% default coz I don't *want/like* to change the browser settings everytime I happen to sit in front of a new machine/browser. I consider a 100% default the 2nd best solution. Marc Delisle wrote:
