Embedding Brainstom

This is a place to dump ideas about embedding. Everything from wish list items to existing pages to interfaces that we might want to look at for ideas.

Apart from the zoom in and zoom out buttons, there needs to be another button that allows switching between single column and multi column views.

The reason: Most webpages will require scrolling to the right for reading articles in "normal" view, single column view will make reading easy. But, if you keep single column view as default, many webpages are not displayed properly with every column being just 3-4 characters wide. Thus, a button to toggle between columns view selection would be ideal.

I do see this problem while using Opera 9.5 on my HTC TYTN II.

Thanks, Ashish
