Which other methods of categorizing styles can you think of?

[denise]

I've just migrated Bug 3883: Add an Optimized-for-small-screens category to the Select Journal Style page and am opening a bug for additional other categories:

* optimized for large fonts
* high contrast
* low contrast
* streamlined/minimal distractions

What other categories can you think of that you would want to see? I'm mostly interested in things that are accessibility-needs related, but if you can think of other ways to categorize, I'd like to know.

I don't think a fixed maximum width will ever be implemented because it wouldn't work for all users (80 characters in a 12px font doesn't take the same space as 80 characters in a 20px font so what value should you use?). Now that could be implemented as an option but that was kind of the point of implementing the side margins option, I think. I would actually love if we had a 'reading/article view' a little more elaborate than the light view with settings for margins, font sizes, leading, text and bkg colors.

If we implemented max width in ems, would that help?

It would but only to some extent. Implementing a max width to entries generally means that you get scrollbars because you always have images, videos, code and you have to do something with the overflow (cut it or scrollbar it and both options suck).
