Description

Description

Currently the task bars take up alot of space. I think we could get away with zooming everything out. i.e making our timeline cover more dates at the top by default and then making the task bars themselves not so tall.

Acceptance Criteria
  • Gantt Chart Task bars appear smaller and therefore make the gantt chart look better
Proposed Solution

Look at where we create the task bar size in the gantt chart package. Lower the default height that it chooses for each task bar. Also look into increasing the amount of dates shown in the timeline display to make everything zoomed out a bit more.

Research direction

Start in the Gantt chart package where task bar sizing is created, then inspect how the timeline determines the dates shown by default. Confirm the current task-bar height and timeline range before making changes. Done means task bars are visibly shorter and the timeline displays more dates by default, matching the acceptance criterion.
