[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-10128) JBoss Central - Shrink the screen space taken up by News and Blog to just two items before scrollbars appear

[Max Rydahl Andersen (Updated) (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10128?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Max Rydahl Andersen updated JBIDE-10128:
----------------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 3.3.0.Beta1
                       (was: 3.3.0.M4)


This is part of a general resizing problem of central - i.e. I get ~3 items shown on a 1280x800 screen which is fine IMO. reducing to two would tight.

Maybe we should just merge the two since it takes up too much space otherwise. 

Something to consider - not sure of the answer.

I would like to see the general resize problem fixed first before we try tweak this though.

> When booting up Eclipse with JBoss Tools installed, JBoss Central is shown, however because the 'News' section displays 4 items on the screen, I didn't see that there was a 'Blogs' section. When I have Eclipse fullscreen I can see that it does. However since the News and Blogs sections have to have scrollbars anyway, could we shrink the screen realestate that they use up to only displaying 2 items in each section at a time and then a user can still use each sections scrollbar to see the rest? 
> This would make it easier for users to see both the News and Blogs sections.
> Screenshots attached to provide examples and assist with explanation.
