Basically the question is why isn't blizzard utilizing all that extra space that is left over on the sides,

The game is made for widescreen as proof of the 16

showing the most in game and yet the UI for battle.net doesn't use all that space, you can't even use all of the vertical space as the menus and crap,it's not like you can even open a chat without it covering part of the ui anyways so why not use all that space?

just wondering because i find the in chat in lobby a tad small just thinking that they could use their space better.

Not really a discussion more of a suggestion

Because it's beta

EDIT: I'm sure that they will improve it later on! This is the first patch that they actually had this homescreen right? (not counting patch 9 -> 10)

the game is clearly best in wide screen 16: 9 so why is their battle.net interface limited to 4:3 don't want to do the extra work to make it dynamic

I prefer it this way, making it fill the screen is a bad design approach to menu interfaces and websites alike (take Team Liquid for an example of good design).

On my screen teamliquid non dymanic approach makes it about 50% white space 50% content in the middle hardly the best approach.

Granted you don't want things to touch the edges at best porb about 5-10% on each side of white space but it's defendant that it is not efficient.

tl has a fixed width on smaller resolutions it's fine but when you bring it up to my 1920x1080 or my 2560 monitor it's not that great it's just old coding style that they don't want to upgrade becuase it be a pain pretty much have to remake the style sheets for teamliquid i'd guess.

But the amount of space free on that battle.net is like 20-30% of blank space i'm don't care for it that's fine for like a wall paper but not something that i'll be reading chat etc on .

I like the way websites look when they are made properly. The interface looks fine the way it is, it is kind of like HD TV when you make the main portion fit non HD but have extra space on the sides for HD viewers. Maybe they will make 2 versions widescreen and no widescreen. Hopefully it would be an option so I can keep it the way it is.

it's a clean layout but it seems cramped.
