Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/6803

Originally assigned to: @LucasXu0 on GitHub.

Bug Description

Hope I haven't missed anything obvious, but when I open Appflowy as a split window in fullscreen mode on Mac, the window can't be reduced below about two thirds of the screen.

How to Reproduce

Open the app in split screen mode alongside some other app

Expected Behavior

I would expect to have full control over the window size, or at least, that the minimum size would be a lot smaller.

Operating System

macOS

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.7.3

Screenshots

No response

Additional Context

No response

Hi, @davystrong. We have a minimum window size requirement of 960 pixels to avoid UI scaling issues.

@LucasXu0 thanks for that! I'm using a 16 inch Macbook, the display is 3456 pixels across and I'd estimate it doesn't let me reduce it below about 2100 pixels. 960 would be reasonable, I think, but this is annoying. Any idea why it won't go any smaller?

@davystrong My previous comment was not clear. For your MacBook, the limitation should be 960 × (2-3) pixels (approximately within this range). I may change it to a dynamic value based on the screen pixels if it doesn't cause too many UI issues.

@LucasXu0 that makes more sense. Yes, having it linked to the screen pixels might be a good idea, however I'd like it to be as flexible as possible. With the current window layout, it looks like the value could be reduced to about half what it currently is without any issues, even with the sidebar open. I had previously been using OneNote, and this actually something it did quite well. When the window got too small, the sidebar stopped "pushing" the content out of the way and start appearing in from of the content, then disappearing when you focused on the page again. Maybe this is something you could do as well.

Hi, @davystrong. This package reduces the minimum window size limitation. Would you like to test to see if it matches your screen size?

@LucasXu0 tested and that works much better now! Thank you! I'll close this issue.
