Yes, if it was any wider, it would distort the proportions. If it was any taller, it would cut off parts of the graphics.New user. First time using Axe Edit. I hit the full screen button but it only fills up part of the screen, shown in pic. I can't seem to find anything in the settings. Am I missing something? I'm on a 2560x1440 monitor if it matters. Thanks!

Not sure I understand your logic. Program GUI's adjusting to the size of the users monitor is pretty standard these days... Are you just saying the program wasn't written to be that dynamic in that regard?Yes, if it was any wider, it would distort the proportions. If it was any taller, it would cut off parts of the graphics.
When it's in full screen mode, it's already showing everything as big as it can. Anything else would either distort the proportions or cut off the top & bottom of the graphics. The only way to get true full screen would be to put black bars on either side & would add nothing. It's been discussed before. It is what it is.Not sure I understand your logic.

The platform they are using is limited in that capacity then. Oh well. Kind of annoying but overall a minor inconvenience I guess. Thanks for responding! Gonna go back to tinkering now!Axe-Edit is created using a platform that has its own UI tools and implicit rules
No, it isn't. The design has a fixed aspect ratio. Would the following really be any better?

There's a reason for that. A reason that is about 500 or so years old. It's the same reason newspapers are printed in columns.The irony of this all is the UI design of this forum currently has this useless space on the sides when we make our browsers full screen. But it seems to work fine here
I agree with some of your premise but it was also a design decision to use a fixed layout and not to place other content in the sidebars. There are plenty of examples of blogs etc that do not use a fixed layout and have content in the sidebars (site navigation, tag cloud, etc).There's a reason for that. A reason that is about 500 or so years old. It's the same reason newspapers are printed in columns.
A line of text that wide is difficult to read, because it tends to cause difficulty for the reader's eyes to follow the line and jump to the next accurately.
Similarly, a column of text too narrow is also hard to read, as longer words end up hyphenated and continued on the next line far too often. It was figured out in Gutenberg's time....
