use more vertical space in browser window -- feature request #6
People with larger displays (resp. higher resolution) would like to have your GUI and the etherpad frame automatically use the available vertical space in a browser window.
Resizing every pad I have to work on every time I open the application turns out to be a tedious task.
Web browsers tell web applications many things about their environment [1]. My hope was that your application could get an idea of how big my screen is and make a good guess on what a reasonable vertical size of the pad frame would be.
To be more specific: I personally do not use full screen mode in Desktop apps, so I have a menu bar on my screen and in my browser I do have tabs, my address bar and my bookmarks bar visible. That and the header of your app would need to be subtracted from the vertical dimension guess. I do not care for the footer of your app, I would not mind if that was pushed outside the screen, so that I can scroll down to it if I want to see it. I do not care for the header either because it steals screen real estate but I understand that CI rules may have to be followed here. I'll open another enhancement suggestion regarding the header.

So, the resizing feature of the pad is not enough?
What would you suggest?

Thank you for your consideration.
