Maximum number of columns in view

[Luckymoep]

Hi there,

I have some trouble finding out how my views are rendered. What defines how many columns I get?

If I use Google Chrome I get maximal 3 columns per view, regardless of the window width:

Looks the same if I expand my window:

If I collapse the left navigation menu I get 4 columns:

Is there any way to get more than 4 columns?
I found some guy whos screenshot shows more than 4 columns:

How did he get this working?

Cheers
Lucky

This is still one of the many mysteries of the UI for me as well.
I also get only a maximum of four - maybe a css setting?

That 5 column view is mine
It’s from an “old” version, like 0.30 or so. Maybe after that something changed on frontend code, as for now I don’t get more than 4 columns regardless screen size.

<600px screen gets 1 column, <900px 2 columns, <1200px 3 columns, >1200px 4 columns.
Open sidebar reduces the number of columns by 1.

I wonder why this is limited to 4 columns when there is space for more…
Especially on large displays the space is wasted this way.

Thx danichispa, this is a good explanation why i saw this on your screenshot

I just created a feature request for unlimited columns depending on the screen width:

Unlimited Columns for wide screens

Hi there, As discussed in this thread, the maximum number of columns is 4 at the moment. For wide screens this means a lot of space is wasted. Maybe someone could implement a unlimited number of columns, every 300px a new column. This means: 1500px → 5 columns 1800px → 6 columns 2100px → 7 columns and so on… Thanks in advance if somebody finds the time to implement this…
