What is your screen/display resolution set at?
« on: January 09, 2009, 04:58:57 AM »
curious. i'm having a hard time right now because i'm typically at 1280x1024 and right now shitty KDE won't let me go beyond 1024x768 for some god forsaken reason that i can't figure out.

aslso, i'm loving the hell out of Slackware (which i've just not got around to toying with, 8 years after the rest of the linux world), but why the hell would they ever choose KDE over Gnome?

At least they throw in fluxbox which is fucking sweet. and xfce!

Every display in my home is set at 640 x 480.  I still use those giant 14" CRT monitors with Windows 95.

Don't forget to make your site Iphone/Blackberry compatible too.

You should be using 1280x960 if your aspect ratio is 4:3 otherwise it is all scrunchy

According to my web stats, around 5% of This Is a Recording's visitors are using 800x600. I'm not going to bother designing for them so I design for the next (standard) resolution which would be 1024x768. I'd rather have too much whitespace than cut off text. *shrug* But, I'm still using nested tables rather than style sheets to layout my page and you've seen my site so consider the source.  :D ;)

I try to design my stuff for all sizes by making the main area stretchable.
