Remove the fotter, use the standby screen instead

Maybe ‘Tiny Tiny RSS v1.2.16 © 2005-2007 Andrew Dolgov’ should not be as promonent as it is now?

Is 20 pixels really that large? Look how much crap Gmail puts at the page bottom...

By the way, when defining a range you are supposed to use the en-dash (U+2013), not a hyphen.

Holy crap, how do you notice this things? What should I put in HTML to be kosher? :-)

20px with compleatly useless information is very disturbing. If it is not useful in a user's day-to-day doings it should be removed. But having it on the standby screen is somewhat usefull, and you can have it there.

Please respect that not everyone have gigantic screens with insane screen resolutions.

I can see the difference. There still are some folks around with knowledge of the ‘ancient’ art of typographic. – is the Latin entity. But including the actual Unicode glyph straight into the code is the best practice. This goes for the ellipsis character and © copyright symbol as well. (Provided that you serve the document as Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8;.) Here is the character for all your copy'paste pleasures: –

BTW, there is Compact theme which removes it. But I must agree, frankly the footer is there entirely for vanity's sake. Also, I like the way it holds the UI together. :-)

Fixed the – thingie.

As long as it is compleatly useless it should not be there. Remove it, or free the space for actual content instead. (My vote goes to the latter solution.)

You have to remove it. When I scoll down it stays in the way all the time. It is like a large and cold block preventing me from seeing what comes next.

Get a grip, seriously. :-)

This is solved easily enough using compact theme which is there for space-conscious people.

Just tell me; how having that footer benefits the end user? Do you mean (and why) the user would not have benefited more from having the space available for feed items? (As in the default:compact theme.)

I see you have moved it to the reading area exclusively. Move it to the feed list instead. Then it will not get in the way when readers are scrolling down to see more unread items. (That was my point.) If it takes up some space at the bottom of the feed list it does not matter as much.

I moved the footer to give more space to the feeds container so it could accomodate a few more feeds without getting scrollbars. Content usually has scrollbars anyway, so no loss there.
