Problem with dimensions

[04fsnape]

Hello,

I am trying to set the dimensions for my app but for some reason the dimensions in my python code are different to those of the HTML window. In HTML I set the body to be 1200px width and 700px height, and that is the area I want to show in my app. However, in eel I specified the size to be (1200, 700) and it is too small. Through trial and error I found out that the correct size is (1216, 736)... Why is this?

Perhaps it is due to padding, margin or border on or or

elements?

@ChrisKnott I went into inspect element on Chrome and the size of the body is 1200x700

What platform are you on? For me (on Mac) your window has a small black border which goes away if I resize to 1200x700.

Rather than get into cross platform nastiness, it might be better to just have your GUI expand slightly so it works at different sizes

@ChrisKnott I am on Windows 10. That's strange. Yes that's an option.

EDIT: If it turns out that Mac is accurate and Windows is a bit off (but consistently off...) then I will probably just check the OS and then adjust the size accordingly.

@04fsnape This seems to be specific to Chrome on Windows, or possibly just your Chrome setup so I'm going to close it because I don't think there's any way to fix it from Eel's perspective.
