I think we're settling on 8 * 12 * 12 = 1152px (+12px padding both sides)

I prefer no Web site to require my browser to be wider than 1024 pixels. I guess I'm old school. :)

@callumacrae

a breakpoint is a media query on the container. You still have a fluid design but your container or wrap has a breakpoint that is padded higher than your container to trigger the different levels as nickvergessen has mentioned.

@ Pont99CA

if its done with the numbers I mentioned then it will work fine at that resolution ;)

@Paybas I would say 15px bleed as 12px is too small at that size. Its smaller than the recommended default font-size :)

90% of visitors to my website have an average browser width of 1000px (although I've never used In-Page Analytics before so I could be wrong).

We're just defining the absolute maximum. Nothing will change for users with monitors below 1280px.

The proSilver breakpoints are a bit scattered and seem to differ somewhat for different features. It basically looks like they chose the absolute minimum that it will take before breaking the design, and switching to a compact/responsive mode at the last moment (on a per-feature basis). But I agree that having more clearly defined breakpoints would be a good idea.

Have you actually tried it? I simply think that having the same padding on the top and sides looks better. And I'm no expert on this, but why should the bleed be a certain minimum? We have 0px bleed in responsive mode.

@paybas

Not sure I understand what ur asking?

Yes bleed should be consistent on all sides I would make them all 15px.

This is for large screens it should scale down to 0 for the smallest screen

I don't mind bumping it from 12px to 15px. I'm just curious why it matters that "Its smaller than the recommended default font-size".

Well... since I don't care, but you do... I'll update it to 15px ;).

I can't seem to find the original ticket for that.

On a personal note: 1158px is too wide for me personally. Simply too many words on one line. But I think it's a good default width for extensions and whatever.

1152px? Also the words per line is do to the fact that the sections are not space out appropriately and the font-size is probably too small.

Something we can definitely fix in 3.2
