Now that nearly every theme/site has a responsive design, the lack of a
user-oriented UI for previewing a site on different device sizes is a
common complaint. Yes, it's as simple as resizing the browser window, but
many user's don't think of that.
I've prepared a conceptual patch that replaces the Customizer's "collapse"
link with a series of buttons that change the size of the preview window
to emulate different device sizes. This would ideally integrate with
#29949, providing a new full-screen/collapsed mode that's a bit more user-
friendly, and could potentially offer the ability to have a "sticky" full-
screen mode, where the Customizer controls pop out over the preview window
instead of shrinking it.
Many of these ideas have been explored in the WordPress.com skinning of
the Customizer, largely unsuccessfully (depending on who you ask). But I
think a carefully considered approach here could be a big benefit for
core.
