Portrait layout

[NYPup2Train]

Kinkoids, (Kinksters? Kinkoidenants?)

I access GayHarem exclusively using a desktop web browser, usually in windowed mode sized to about half of my 16:10 widescreen monitor. IOW, with the browser page laid out in a decidedly portrait aspect.

The forced landscape aspect of the game interface has always been a bit annoying, because of that. And while it may once have made sense, the fact is that as the game has expanded, your own additions to the interface have rendered the landscape configuration less and less ideal for the interface.

A couple of months ago, after I finally got sick of unnecessarily scrolling up and down to see all of the game content, I went in and hacked up a userstyle with enough overrides to take better advantage of the additional screen height by displaying useful content. (The appeal of Bunny smugly waving his phone at me and telling me I should turn my 24" monitor sideways is not, shockingly enough, particularly entertaining.)

So for a number of weeks now, this is how I've been seeing the interface. (These screenshots are about a month old.)

 

It's not perfect since everything I do is fighting against your JavaScript scaling code, and I haven't tackled anything outside of the three Activities sections, but the no-scroll view of the entire "Places of Power" interface alone more than makes up for minor glitches. (I haven't extended the harem interface to full-height yet, but that would probably be my next target if I decided to expand this further.)

Of course, an officially-supported portrait layout wouldn't have to fight with the rest of the site code, so the interface would be glitch-free and much more polished than my hackery. I genuinely think there are plenty of other players who would be interested in the added convenience of a portrait-layout interface. (And I'm sure most people would prefer being able to do it without having to resort to a deep dive into your the site's content structure and CSS! Unfortunately for me,  I'm not most people.)

Let your users decide what layout works best for them, don't force them to conform to your arbitrary design constraints! As I think I've just proved, some of us will have our own way regardless.)
