bug#34886: [Web page] Screenshot alignment (and listing?)

[Tobias Geerinckx-Rice]

Guix,

The full-sized screenshots at 
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/screenshots/gnome/ look 
awkwardly left-aligned to me[0].

Is this intentional?  A browser bug?  This is in Icecat 60.5.1 on 
Guix System.

Bonus wishlist bug(?): I was going to link to just 
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/screenshots/ above, but that 
gives me an Apache directory index.

Now I'm a fan of sites that don't blanket-404 directories for 
whatever misguided reason, but this should probably be its own 
(pretty) page.

Kind regards,

T G-R

The problem is that this secreenshot that I added a couple of days ago
has a ratio of 4/3 instead of 16/9 (I think?).

We could provide a 16/9 screenshot instead, though we’d need to
configure the QEMU guest to use the right resolution.  Anyone wants to
give it a try?

Alternately, or in addition to that, it’d be great if the web site would
automatically do the right thing regardless of the aspect ratio of the
screenshot.  WDYT, sirgazil?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

While true (I noticed that too), that's not the problem here.  The 
image above is 16:something, but still isn't centred.  And even 
so, …

…my thoughts exactly :-)

Yeah, that was a lazy/running-out-of-time design that expected all 
full-size screenshots to be full HD, and fill the whole screen 
horizontally for most people :P

That was fast.  Thank you!

I guess the live Web site still needs to be rebuilt or poked in 
some way.  Ludo'?
