Layout & Spacing

How we structure pages and apply consistent spacing across the AppSignal product.

Screen size

The application uses a single responsive breakpoint at 1300 px to switch between two layout modes.

Viewport

Behavior

≥ 1301 px

Full layout. navigation and content sit side by side with room to breathe.

≤ 1300 px

Compact layout. content area shrinks to fit; navigation width is preserved.

 

Anatomy

Every page shares the same vertical structure:

Region

Height / Width

Notes

Header

45 px fixed height

Navigation

250 px fixed width, 12 px internal padding

Persistent sidebar on the left. Width does not change between breakpoints.

Content area
