(Split from #203)

Implement a usable and visually attractive interface for large devices.

Code is located in the desktop-design branch. Feel free to assist!

@twiss: are the margin indicators required for the desktop design?

Yeah, because at some point we should increase the padding to match what comes out of a printer.

Ah, that makes sense.

Isn't that printer dependent?

I remember having to fiddle around with LaTeX back then, to get the business cards look like I wanted them to (that is, match the cutting lines of that special paper …).

It is, but you can give some hints to the browser about preferred page size and margins (@page, probably doesn't work perfectly though), which we then have to infer from the locale (#239). Another more reliable way would be to download a pdf (as per #206), then you have to select print twice though.

The second approach is what Google Docs does for Firefox.
