Created attachment 13538 [details] flow landing page at 800x600 Most of my browser sessions ends up being roughly 800x600 (more like 900x600 really). Flow has a lot of margin around its element which mean that a page for me would only have a single message usually. Attached is the landing page at 800x600. Half of the screen is taken by top headers, the bottom half has the title and at best will have a couple lines of the first message. Would be nice to make the layout more compressed, maybe consider it to be dynamically set based on the screen width?
Created attachment 13539 [details] Flow second page at 800x600 Screenshot taken after pressing page down. That highlights the Flow layout does not expose much of the actual messages since more than half of the screen is occupied by actions/titles/user name...
For the context, I got a 13 inches MacBook air with a screen resolution of 1440x900, slightly higher density compared to the MacBook pro which has 1280x800.

Thanks for flagging this, Hashar - it's *supposed* to be dynamically adjusting to your screen, but it looks like that feature's broken :)
Forgot to mention I am using Version 6.0.5 (7536.30.1) (form Mac OS X 10.7).
Thanks for the report :). Design/engineering are working on this now.
As a stopgap, we added in a little CSS hack - can you take a look again and see if that's a little better for you, Antoine? In future sprints, we'll do more dedicated work around making Flow scale/resize nicely for smaller screens/tablets/mobile, but this should hopefully be a step in the right direction.

Frontend has been drastically improved (rewritten) with mobile in mind; this should be fixed now.
