[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17968) Application wizard: take less less screen height

[Andre Dietisheim (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17968?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12988585#comment-12988585 ] 

Andre Dietisheim commented on JBIDE-17968:
------------------------------------------

[~maxandersen] [~crobson] I also believe that the 2nd wizard page is the one that forces the whole wizard to get too tall (as said before, all the pages are kept to a consistent height that fits the needs of the tallest among them):

Nevertheless it's important to repeat that what's labeled as "wasted space" isnt wasted space. It's the space that the wizard reserves for the progress area. That's how wizard page are laid out in Eclipse when there's a progress bar: the space required for it is reserved, the progress bar is just hidden when not displaying some progress.

> For users with small screen sizes, the OpenShift create application wizard is very tall and might overflow their screen real-estate.  Many of the dialogs in this wizard have lots of wasted space, so we should see if we can reduce the size of these dialogs as much as possible.  
> The height of the dialog is ~870px high.  The most common resolution people run these days is 1366x768 - meaning we're already too high for people's viewable screen.
