Board options

Fix board

The right click menu of the board which also hold the alignment options also provides two fixing options. One is "Fix board":

Add hotspot

Fixing your board means that you temporarily can't move your board around. This affects using the mouse using drag and drop, using the mouse wheel, or the arrow keys. But it still works to move the board using the overview or the hotspot dropdown.

The idea behind this is that in some situations you may want to move around items without accidentally moving the board (which happens automatically when you come near the boarders of the board)

Fix items

The idea behind fixing items on the other hand is to avoid moving your items when scrolling around your board very fast. If you have for example a section with lots of Youtube videos (kinda like a video wall) with nearly no space between the items this can be very useful. Fixing the items means that when dragging an item nothing happens. But they are still fully functional and can be edited or clicked (like the links of bookmark items).

Board settings

Within the board setting you currently can change the background of the board, and also set up the virtual page size.

Add hotspot

Currently Spaaze offers 5 different backgrounds, one with freely selectable colors (stripes). Changing the background is charged with 10 SP, but only when you click "Save". So you can select backgrounds from the list to see how it would look like before being charged.

As explained in the help text below the setting the virtual page size is for moving the board with the cursor keys. The idea behind this is the following: When moving around with the cursor keys you for example always want to end up at the same spot when pressing up twice and left twice. For this to work the application always has to scroll the same amount. If Spaaze would scroll exactly one screen width, it would always be different depending on the size of your browser window. This is where this setting comes into place. Most people will probably never have to change this though, since the default works pretty well.

Settings

Hi,
I would really like to choose settings permanently.
The sticky notes I like better than the notebook form.

And I would like to be able permanently choosing font and size of it.

That would be really nice.

Thans for the great work!
