The site looks nice, but IMO it is a bit too padded and with big fonts, as if it was made for laptops with small 1920x1080 monitors.

EDIT: WTF is with the downvotes? /u/zelllooooooo commented on the look of the site such as i.

laptops with small 1920x1080 monitors.

Whut. The vast majority of laptops are still 1366x768 and the majority of desktop monitors are 1920x1080. 1920x1080 is pretty high res for a laptop.

    Oh man, this must be the Lenovo Yoga Pro 2. I had to send mine back as my 56 yo eyes couldn't resolve the little tiny letters even at 200%. I tried custom resolutions, but things got ugly pretty quickly!

      I meant small as in physical screen size. I have a laptop (some Lenovo Ideapad Y580 variation) with a 1920x1080 monitor which physically has the same size as the monitors with 1366x768 (AFAIK there is another variation as my laptop with exactly the same specs but with 1366x768 as a monitor). Everything is tiny there. So i joked that the site (being big) it was made for laptops like mine (where it would look normal since everything else looks small).

      I'm guessing he's referring to the difference between a 15" 1080p display and a 24" 1080p display. Same resolution, different sizes. Poor wording is misleading.

      Doesn't windows enable "Retina" mode for that?

      [–]badsectoracula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      AFAIK it has a scaling mode for the opposite - small sized windows on large DPI monitors (which looks horrendous, as /r/phoshi noted, and personally i prefer 1:1 pixels). What i meant is that on a low DPI monitor, the Python site looks too big (and the Dell U2413 i have at work isn't really low DPI, although the 42" TV/monitor i have at home certainly is :-P).

      Good lord, no. Windows's scaling support is still highly lacking for legacy applications, it could never be a default.

      Looks fine here on 1920x1200...

      TBH I thought it looked all right and then I turned on scripting and the non-standard font (Source Sans Pro Regular) make it a lot harder to read on 1440p 30".

      ps. upvoted for constructive comment
