Char sheet empty white area.

Why is the page divided in two, where you have on the top left an empty space for Avatar, which as a player I have no control over, then on the right a small block of editable text, and then on the right bottom side am empty void of white space? I added lots of attributes and macros and I have to cram commands in a tight width because half of the popup is occupied by NOTHING. Box Avatar and "Bio and Info" into a single cell on row 0, put attributes on row 1, column 0 and macros on row 1, column 1. That way i can have some proper structure. Also why can't I save changes without the popup disappearing? I usually save my progress as I edit stuff in case the page breaks or my internet crashes. People ctrl+s often when writing a document. Eve here a draft is automagically saved just in case.

The GM can load an avatar image for you into your character sheet. You can enlarge or reduce the size of the page and increase the amount of editable space (without it going to the next line). Unfortunately, what is suitable for your setup may not be the same for every person. Some people will make extensive use of the Bio and Info section without using the Attributes or Abilities. Still others will want to see the Bio and Info section side by side with Attributes and Abilities. It is also worth noting that there is another section (that players do not see) to the right of Abilities, the GM information section. I would also like to see the save function not close the window. - Gauss
Same here. Save shouldn't close the character journals. I'd also like an option to use the old edit/text areas. I dislike the html margins and padding that are on by default in the new style.

The player page and GM page should be separate, so I, as a player, not care what the GM secretly does. That monster :D

Discipol, such a thing would be great but we have to remember that the developers are doing this in their spare time. It is also worth remembering that every additional feature must be weighed against any increased complexity it may bring to the table. One of the advantages of Roll20 is it's ease of use. Note: That does not mean your suggestion would increase complexity, just that each suggestion should be weighed against it. - Gauss
I am not here to demand anything :P especially as I haven't contributed any monetary value to the website. It suffices that the suggestion is made and people agree or disagree with my and all suggestions. The developers get to prioritize the accepted suggestions by the player's input (I assume).
I added lots of attributes and macros and I have to cram commands in a tight width because half of the popup is occupied by NOTHING. Not sure if I'm understanding this correctly, but I think I agree because for some NPCs without much background info, it would be enough to add to their character sheets the most relevant macros and little more. But if you do this, not filling the fields at the right side, the layout doesn't look good with all that blank, empty space. For instance: It would be good, then, if in the cases the fields at the right side aren't used very much (or not used at all), the Roll20 app automatically detects it and changes (or adapts) the layout/arrangement of the sheet for making a better use of the space while avoiding the blank areas.
Simple fix. Swap the columns. Portrait/Bio/GM Notes on left. Make that part a fixed width. Attributes and Abilities on the right that stretches as you re-size the window.
But do such options exist? Or are you suggesting them to the developers?
Suggesting, though you could use Stylish to do it.
