Question on Sight image size (Resolved)
I'm trying to build a banner-like image across either 3/4 or the full width of the screen.
The height will be some small portion (1/4 or much less) of the width.
Is there an algorithm I can use to determine canvas size of the image I'm using?
I don't want to spend much more time with trial and error on what is likely to be mostly a cosmetic feature. All attempts so far have been unsuccessful. Too much white space and aspect ratio.
Thanks.
Update:
I have a work-around for now.
I opened the Sight in edit mode and created a blank widget of the size I wanted.
I then used a screen capture tool to grab the area in the exact size I wanted.
I used this as the basis for the canvas size and while there is still a bit of white space (since i can't reproduce the original size exactly), it is likely only noticable to me.

Hi Craig,
From chatting with the project manager for Sights, this is definitely a feature request. We'd have to use or design a sort of ruler/pixel measuring application on a Sight in order to give you a precise measurement.
There might be a browser extension that can do this for you as well? I've seen a few page ruler extensions for Chrome, at least. Here's the one I used when designing our Community badges: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/page-ruler/jlpkojjdgbllmedoapgfodplfhcbnbpn?hl=en
I've got your vote down for a ruler/measuring device to be built into the app directly, though, as that would be more precise for Sights.

Thanks Shaine.

It would be great if Sights let you use percentages as measurements. Because screen sizes vary, having a responsive image would be very useful.

Hi Mike—
Great suggestion! I've got your vote down to add a resolution percentage measurement tool to Sights.
