# ShrinkVertically -- keep the board horizontal scrollbar visible
A tiny Kanboard plugin that fixes the vertically-collapsed board view so the bottom
horizontal scrollbar stays on screen.
A small Kanboard plugin focused on the vertically-collapsed board view. It fixes the
collapse so the bottom horizontal scrollbar stays on screen, and can optionally add a
second mirrored scrollbar above the columns. Configurable under
"Settings -> Shrink Vertically".
Board drag/touch and column-gap options that used to live here have moved to the separate
`TweakDrag` plugin.
## The problem

proportional value because that chrome is a fixed height regardless of screen size. It
defaults to `240px` and is configurable (see Settings below).
It changes nothing else: no data, no JavaScript, no database migration. The override only
applies while columns are collapsed (when core adds the `board-task-list-compact` class).
The `min-height: 0` is essential: Kanboard's drag-and-drop sets an inline `min-height` on
each column equal to its full content height, and in CSS `min-height` beats `max-height`,
so without this reset the tall columns would never shrink.
The override only applies while columns are collapsed (when core adds the
`board-task-list-compact` class). It changes no data and runs no database migration.
## Menu labels
So it is obvious the collapsed behaviour comes from this plugin and not from core, a
small script (via `template:layout:js`) appends a `+` to the two gear-menu items, so they
read "Collapse vertically+" and "Expand vertically+". It only edits the rendered link
text, so it works in any locale.
## Requirements
@@ -46,11 +64,32 @@ Copy this folder into your Kanboard installation as `plugins/ShrinkVertically/`.
directory name must be exactly `ShrinkVertically` (Kanboard derives the plugin namespace
from the folder name). Reload the board; no build step, no configuration.
## Tuning
## Top horizontal scrollbar (optional)
Edit the single `120px` value in `Asset/css/shrink-vertically.css`. Increase it if the
scrollbar is still clipped (for example with a taller theme header); decrease it to make
the collapsed columns taller.
Kanboard's board scrolls horizontally inside `#board-container`, so its only horizontal
scrollbar is at the very bottom of the board -- on a wide board you must scroll all the
way down to move sideways. Enable "Add a top horizontal scrollbar" in the settings to get
a second scrollbar just above the columns.
It is a custom track + draggable thumb (`Asset/js/top-scrollbar.js`, loaded only when the
option is on), not a native scrollbar, so it renders and can be sized the same in every
browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and on touch. Drag the thumb or click the track to move
the board; the thumb tracks the board when you scroll it by other means. Its thickness
follows the "Top Horizontal Scrollbar thickness" setting.
## Settings
These settings are global (per Kanboard instance) and admin-only. Go to
"Settings -> Shrink Vertically":
- **Vertical offset in pixels** -- pixels reserved around the collapsed columns. Injected
in the page head as the `--sv-shrink-offset` CSS variable. Increase it if the scrollbar
is still clipped (for example with a taller theme header); decrease it to make the
collapsed columns taller. Default: 240.
- **Top Horizontal Scrollbar thickness in pixels** -- thickness of the custom top
scrollbar (all browsers). Injected as the `--sv-bar-size` CSS variable. Default: 25.
- **Add a top horizontal scrollbar to the board** -- toggles the mirrored top scrollbar
described above. Default: on.
