on Firefox and Windows, it's a disaster

in addition to what other comments pointed out, on the demo ( https://www.egui.rs/#demo ) if you have a sidebar open, there is an offset of approximately the sidebar's width (though not exactly) between the system's mouse pointer position and the web app

Re:Quake Shareware, a CD-ROM just a little too full on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @02:31PM (#49365370)
IIRC, the Quake 1 CD also had its OST as standard audio tracks

Quake 2 had it for sure, that CD spent as much time in my car as in my PC

> Everything in the VB UI editor was based on a fixed layout. There was a fixed font size, fixed DPI-density display expectation, and fixed button sizes. Every dialog assumed fixed sizes and was non-resizable

Yes, everything in the layout was fixed, unless you chose to resize it through code

I've developed many applications in VB that dynamically resized every control to maintain a consistent UI regardless of the window size

I mean, simple things like this

textarea.width = form.width - ( textarea.left * 2 )

to keep it centered and preserved the margins

Granted, for complex layouts, it quickly evolved into a dedicated procedure to resize all controls in the correct order and handle edge cases. But it was absolutely doable, even by an amateur teenage programmer

I think other IDEs (Delphi maybe?) had anchors and other helpful features to assist with resizing

Overheating could be a problem. cooling by thermal radiation alone maybe isn't enough
