Alert Box [side position] [b] [h]

I'll preface this by saying I loooove this update and I'm not sure this is a bug, but it seems a bit funny looking.

There's a lot of real estate left over to the right of the box, but it's glued to the left side of the screen. While it seems a little forlorn and squished in both Chrome and FF, it's worse in FF. Is it possible to have the alert box dynamically resize itself in the blank space on the screen and/or give it a bit more of a margin on the left?

I love it. :) Only thing that could improve it imo, would be the ability to drag the corner up or down to resize the box like a browser window. But I can live w/o that. lol

I love this as well.. I hated it at the top of the screen, that being said...

I believe that is done for those not on a wide screen monitor. I have a wide screen and I have a normal screen. On the normal it fits without over lapping anything.

I dont know about the dynamic bit. How does that work, if someone with bad eyes has the screen at 150% compared to normal resolutions? Would that dialogue box adjust according to the screen size or by the screen resolution size?

I'm fairly sure it's a relatively simple thing to have the code check the pixel width of the browser window, and re-size the box appropriately. I'll give it a try soon.

There, I think that did it.

Maybe I'm one of the only people that uses Opera, I dunno but when I have the alert box set to the side position it stretches all the way across the screen. It wasn't doing that last night though so maybe something from the tweak this morning is making it zig instead of zag so to speak.

Awesome update btw! :D

If you mean stretched downwards rather that sideways? Ditto on Chrome. It looks like a long egg noodle. :|

It looks perfect and lovable to me in Chrome + Firefox

Here's what it does.

It seems to work just fine on chrome and ff yeah, but I don't use those browsers. :(
