 Screen Resolutions - Steve - 08/22/00 03:32 | | | Ok, I'm checking out the other sites of the Thinkquest contest, and notice that hardly any of them are not fixed size. If you notice, our site always fills the screen, at all resolutions, be it 800*600 or 1280*960.
We put a lot of work into making this site look good, and I am going to say this. I don't like fixed resolution sites.
Any comments? | | | Valona - 08/24/00 12:09PM | | I haven't found a website programmer yet who didn't have likes and dislikes of some sort. One of my teammates abhors black backgrounds, which I must admit I was never incredibly fond of either. We all hate frames, and blinking text. However, I never even thought about fixed-width sites - except for when their width is fixed larger than 800x600. Then it becomes incredibly annoying. When I load a site, I like it to load in a window with a width _I_ set. I don't like websites to resize the windows at all, most specifically to larger than I can scroll as some sites do.
Now my team's site is made to fit in any resolution screen down to 640x480, which I think is an equally good solution to making the site resize. It's kind of an extra neat feature that you guys put in to make it resize, but I don't know if it will gain you brownie points or not. Most likely, being web programmers, you did it only for the sake of having a good design, though. :)
-Sarah Pride- | | | Steve - 08/25/00 4:23AM | | I know my personnal preference about site sizes is very conditional. 800*600 is still the most used resolution, but 1024*768 is starting to rival it. So, a fixed width of 800x600 is perfectly ok, it plays the largest audience.
One thing I though was wierd, are sites that have a none standard fixed width. They are niether 800*600 or 1024*768. Fixed widths are always easiest, content is always where it is suppose to be, everything is constantly aligned in the correct spots, but somehow something is missing. There is no way to fill the negative space at high resolutions. I want a browser that has great presentation skills. That's one of the reasons I want to be exclusivily flash. screen sizes can stretch, and everthing looks how you want it.
If you haven't seen the new capabilites of IE 5.5, you should check them out.

There are so many posibilites with IE. | | | Stevencove - 02/19/02 8:47AM | | I changed my screen res to 800x600 from 1024x768. I cannot fit my Yahoo e-mail and some other screen content into the width of my screen. I do not want to have to use the horizontal scroll bar to view my message. I am running IE5.5. I checked the options in IE an cannot find any setting. I chaged the font size but to no avail. Does anyone know the cause or have a fix? | |
