DESKTOP LAYOUT OPTIMIZATION (3-4 columns):
- userInfo: Changed maxAutoSize from 2x1 to 1x2 (expands vertically)
- userStats: Changed to column-aware function, 3x3 in 3-4 col (full width horizontal)
- Layout: userInfo 1x2 (left) + mood 1x1 (top-right), stats 3x3 below (full width)
- Result: Better horizontal space utilization, less vertical stacking
MOBILE FIXES (Dashboard v2):
1. Refresh button visibility
- Added #rpg-dashboard-container to CSS selector
- Now shows with Dashboard v2, not just old panel UI
2. Stats widget Arousal bar clipping
- Added padding-bottom: 0.5rem to .rpg-stats-grid
- Prevents last stat bar from being cut off
3. Mood conditions text too small
- Increased from 0.45rem to 0.6rem with line-height 1.2
- "Focused, Awakening Qi" now readable under emoji
AFFECTED:
- userInfoWidget.js: maxAutoSize 1x2 for desktop vertical expansion
- userStatsWidget.js: Column-aware maxAutoSize function (2x2 mobile, 3x3 desktop)
- style.css: Mobile refresh visibility, stats padding, mood text size
PROBLEM:
- Mobile (2-col): userInfo defaulted to 2x1 (full width), pushed mood to row 2
- After mobile CSS fixes, 1x1 widgets display perfectly
- Want userInfo 1x1 + mood 1x1 side-by-side in top row on mobile
- Desktop (3-4 col): userInfo should still expand to 2x1 for better space usage
SOLUTION:
- gridEngine: Support maxAutoSize as function (receives column count)
- userInfoWidget:
- Changed defaultSize from 2x1 to 1x1 (starts compact)
- Changed maxAutoSize to column-aware function:
* 2 columns (mobile): maxAutoSize 1x1 (stays compact)
* 3-4 columns (desktop): maxAutoSize 2x1 (can expand)
BEHAVIOR:
- Auto-layout resets widgets to defaultSize (1x1)
- Expansion pass grows widgets up to maxAutoSize based on available space
- Mobile: userInfo stays 1x1, mood can fit beside it (row 0: [userInfo][mood])
- Desktop: userInfo can expand to 2x1 if space available
AFFECTED:
- gridEngine.js: getWidgetMaxSize() now calls maxAutoSize(columns) if function
- userInfoWidget.js: Column-aware maxAutoSize, compact 1x1 defaultSize
Root cause: Widgets were using getUserAvatar() which returns bare
filenames like 'user-default.png'. These were being used directly as
image src URLs, causing 404 errors like /user-default.png.
Solution: Use getAvatarUrl() dependency which calls getThumbnailUrl()
to convert filenames to proper URLs like /thumbnail?type=persona&file=...
Changes:
- userInfoWidget.js: Use getAvatarUrl('persona', rawAvatar) instead of
raw avatar validation
- sillytavern.js: Simplify updatePersonaAvatar() to trust
getSafeThumbnailUrl() which already calls getThumbnailUrl()
This eliminates 404 errors on initial render and when switching tabs.
**Avatar 404 Fix:**
- Add fallback to getUserAvatar() call to use FALLBACK_AVATAR_DATA_URI when user avatar is missing
- Prevents 404 errors on app startup or when no character is selected
**Layout & Space Utilization Improvements:**
- Implement flexible hybrid layout system:
- 1 column (1x1): Centered large avatar (3rem) with text below
- 2+ columns (2x1+): Side-by-side (avatar 2.5rem left, text right)
- Replace rigid horizontal layout with adaptive container
- Add layout classes: rpg-layout-vertical, rpg-layout-horizontal
- Trigger onResize on initial render for correct layout
**Better Styling:**
- Increase avatar size: 2.5rem-3rem (was 1.2rem)
- Increase font sizes: 0.9rem name, 0.85rem level (was 0.75rem)
- Improve text hierarchy with proper containers
- Add proper spacing and alignment for both layouts
- Remove awkward vertical stacking of "Name | LVL 1"
- Text now stacks cleanly: "Name" on one line, "LVL X" on another
The widget now uses space efficiently, displays a prominent avatar,
and adapts intelligently to different widget sizes.
- Add resetWidgetSizesToDefault() to reset all widgets to default sizes before auto-arrange/reset
- Implement continuous expansion algorithm that fills available space up to maxAutoSize limits
- Add visible height detection to prevent widgets expanding beyond viewport (no forced scroll)
- Update all widget defaultSize and maxAutoSize for optimal 1x1 compact layouts
- Info widgets (calendar, weather, temp, clock): 1x1 default, 1x2 max
- Location: 2x2 max (was 3x3)
- Characters: 3x5 max, moved to 'scene' category (eliminates Social tab)
- User Info: 2x1 max (prevents expansion)
- User Mood: 1x1 default and max (compact top-right placement)
- User Attributes: 3x5 max (fills bottom space)
- User Stats: 3x3 max
- Fix CSS scaling for 1x1 widgets
- Replace viewport-based units with fixed rem values
- Reduce icon/graphic sizes to fit with visible text
- Add explicit gaps and padding for consistent spacing
- Set line-height: 1 to prevent text overflow
- Reorganize default layout
- Status tab: User Info (2x1) + Mood (1x1 top right) + Stats + Attributes
- Scene tab: Info widgets (1x1) + Location + Characters (all on one tab)
- Inventory tab: Full inventory widget
Auto-arrange and reset now properly size widgets to defaults and expand to fill
available space without exceeding visible area.
Stats widget into 4 modular widgets
- Create userInfoWidget (avatar, name, level)
- Refactor userStatsWidget (stats bars only with smart sizing)
- Create userMoodWidget (mood emoji, conditions)
- Create userAttributesWidget (STR/DEX/CON/INT/WIS/CHA)
- Add category field to widgets for auto-layout grouping
- Register all new modular widgets in dashboardIntegration.js
All widgets include getOptimalSize() for smart content-aware auto-layout.
Part of Phase 1 & 3.1 of dashboard modularization plan.
