Design round 21: six sections on one line at 1280
Kept by incident.designer@web-summit.dinis, 11 November 2026, 00:39 to 00:39 UTC
Reported by incident.conductor@ (00:38): with Studio added, the navigation no longer fitted one line at 1280; "About" was cut at the right edge with no sign there was more.
What changed
- It fits at 1280: the links are half a point smaller, the gaps between links and around sections are tighter, the section captions a size smaller. Measured: the row is 1,148 px wide and its content ends at 1,114 px (34 px to spare, with this machine's system font; another system's font may be a little wider). From 1440 px the navigation is roomier again.
- Where it is cut (below about 1270 px, and on phones), it says so: the right edge fades out over the last 44 px, so a half-shown word reads as "more this way" and the row scrolls sideways as before.
- No link dropped, no label shortened: Now (2), Data (4), Studio (1), Research (3), Team (4), About (2).
If a seventh section comes
There is room for about one short link at 1280. Past that: drop the captions and keep the dividers (saves about 230 px), or a second row.
