I am using an extra widescreen notebook, which is quite short vertically. Your site actually looks fine to me.

On the other hand, some sites like GoodEReader.com is completely unreadable for me because of that bar at the top which takes up the majority of my vertical space.

Here are screen caps of each to show what I mean. (I did not scroll to enlarge either page.)

On the GoodEReader site above, the most I get are three tiny lines of text before I have to scroll.

Below is the OP's site with a, thankfully, much smaller bar at the top:

More and more sites seem to be using those huge static areas that take up so much vertical screen space and don't disappear when you scroll.

GoodEReader.com is the worst of the worst, sadly.

Kudos to the OP for keeping that to a minimal height at least.

I wish I knew a way that I could disable or block that element from loading. Any ideas?
