Hello. I was just wondering what everyone's screen resolution is. I'm re- designing my website and it would be good to know at what size I should optimize it for. Personaly, I use 1024 x 768 :-D ~Nick (URL) Site Design: (URL) (24 years ago, 20-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.general)

(...) You should optimize it at 640 x 480 (the smallest screen resolution) so that everyone has the same experience viewing your site. (24 years ago, 20-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.general)

(...) Ditto. Except I use 1280x960, because pixels should be *square*. :) One problem with many web site designs is that they make text go from one side of the browser to the other.

I disagree - anyone still using 640x480 at this point is a stubborn cuss unwilling to upgrade their computer equipment when it SHOULD be ;-) I still run 640x480, actually, but that's on a Libretto, I EXPECT to have to scroll. I run 1024x768, and (...) (24 years ago, 20-Aug-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.general)

(...) Yeah, it's a mess -- the original HTML just wasn't meant to specify presentation. CSS helps a bit. (...) Agreed. If you must specify font, make sure to also list "serif" or "sans-serif". (24 years ago, 20-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) I disagree here. Most people do not use 640x480 if they can help it. I hate viewing pages that are designed for 640x480, because I operate at 1280x1024, and a 640x480 website is really too small to view. I personally design my web sites to (...)

(...) 'nuff said! I use mostly 1280x1024 and my Netscape is about two-thirds of the screen wide and as long as it can be. Works just fine. Ppl. complaining about to long rows, just narrow the browser a tad, problem solved. /Tobbe (24 years ago, 21-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Simple. Monitors are approximately 4x3, so the resolutions should be too. Otherwise, bitmapped pictures get stretched or squished -- in the case of 1280x1024, squished by about 7%. (...) CSS provides a great way to do this -- it has both (...) (24 years ago, 21-Aug-00, to lugnet.publish)
