This issue has been brought up in other threads. We know WU is working to address this issue. I just thought it would be good for this issue to get its own thread to help others that may feel a need to address their concern and offer feedback.
Situation: WU graphics do not scale properly and waste screen space
The immediate solution was that WU provided a new Current Conditions box next to the map. That was a much needed welcome partial solution. Good on WU for listening to this feedback.
Presently what I have noticed is that if you are on a computer and you put your browser to full screen then you get a sub-par experience. Everything ends up very large. There is a lot of wasted space. The graphics scaled up to a very large size and do not look good. The wasted space is not just the white space to the left and right side but also the gray space within the graphics.
The following is a screenshot of this bad experience at full screen (1920 x 1080 res) reduced to 70% for demonstration:

On the same computer with the same browser if you reduce the width of the browser to a much narrower size you can actually see more information. You get better graphics scaling as they are all smaller, yet they are still plenty large enough to be the norm. And most of the wasted space goes away.
Here is what this narrowed browser window looks like as the graphics will auto-shrink (still 1080 res top to bottom, same computer) reduced to 70% for demonstration just like prior example:

Possible Solution: Now I'm not a web developer but it seems to me like the solution is that WU should limit how large these graphics get after a certain scale size. To let these graphics grow to such enormous size just ruins the experience. This is only a preliminary suggestion. Of course there are other solutions to this problem that are warranted, like more drastic design changes. Other suggestions are that once these graphics are reduced in size then you can actually stack them so that you have more of them across the screen rather than just 3 of them. Also it would be nice to automatically remove these if the sensor is not present like when the station does not have Solar, UV or a Camera.
All this, in my opinion, is secondary to the missing tenths decimals in the data and graphs, Rapidfire not working for the graphs, camera issues, missing Yearly and Custom from the summary tables, not being able to edit/delete bad data..etc. So many things - which is good as there is plenty to look forward to. Hopefully this new WU platform that is devoid of legacy infrastructure will bring a better WU than ever before. Great job so far WU. Thanks for listening.
