I am with Matthew on this one.  Another good reason to design to 640 x 480
is that the text wraps to an easier to read line than full screen 1024 x 768
(or larger).  Also, some folks have older video cards that do not support
such large resolutions.

Please think very carefully before you design anything for a
specific _window_size_.

- People use many different window sizes in their browsers.

This week I have only used 540*440, 740*500, 620*720,
1024*768, and 1280*1024, but there are many possibilities
(roughly 2,000,000).

- The look of a web page is strongly dependent of the font
   people choose to use in their browser.

I prefer what nutscrape claims is "18 pt" due to the
_resolution_ of my monitor.

Play well,

Jacob

(...) Fine, when you're talking about text, but if you've got a lot of images, pixel size does matter. (25 years ago, 18-Sep-99, to lugnet.publish)
