You might want to play around with making that ornament a transparent PNG and see how it works.

It is, however, critical for developers/designers to take the time to think about what they're trying to accomplish, to decide whether the size unit should depend on the font size or not, and to test on a wide range of screen sizes with a wide range of font magnification settings to make sure their decision really was the right one. |

God have mercy on my soul. that's all I'm gonna say. Ok, no, it's not all I'm gonna say: for some VERY LIMITED aspects, in ePUB3, for special purposes, fine. But generally, for ePUB2, and everybody who is Un-Apple..no. Not normally. And not for scene-breaks, in my humble opinion, which is worth less than you are paying for it, right this second. Hitch |

margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-left: 5px } That's a case where I do agree what px works fine. |

Jon is of the opinion that you don't need a bottom margin, because the text will often not reach the bottom edge, as it only displays full lines. Of course, that doesn't mean it cannot reach it. Only by adding a bottom margin will you prevent it, and the margin should not affect the cases where the text wouldn't reach the bottom anyway. |

Many have a reserved status line (may be blank most of the time on some devices, but it is still there) My PEz is most times blank My K4NT has reading Progress (It also has a TOP info/status) The RULE: There are no hard rules. Know your target device if you are fine tuning to the device level, otherwise use a Generic, not-quite optimum settings |

You guys (and gals) keep coming up with stuff that means that I have to go back and re-do ALL my previous ebooks!
Stop it! I'm doing just fine until y'all make me "aware" of something -- ignorance is bliss, don't you know? ![]() |

Geez! On a semi-related note to this thread, I just discovered that the latest update to iBooks would seem to start the first page of the book on the right-hand page (in two-page landscape mode), which means that ALL the books that I've done, which all incorporate a nice frontispiece that previously would show up opposite the title page, now have the frontispiece on the right-hand page, followed by the title page on the left.
ADE on my PC still displays things the way they're supposed to (that is, the way I wanted them to, and expected them to), but this now has me wondering whether to ever include a nice frontispiece at all, in any of my books, and just start with the title page. :/ |

Well, it has been said several times before. The more fancy you make things, the bigger the change that it will not work cross-devices or break after an update. That being said, iBooks is doing everything like its wants, inventing its own crippled variations on the standard. It is almost like iBooks is something from Apple...
