Ok here is the think, blind old bat am i and I always use 800x600

but lots of graphics programmes and dreamweaver too are much easier to use in 1280x1024.
which is fine with a magnifying glass.
but I am kinda stuck as to how to get my web sites that are designed for 800x600 to center when seen on a higher res, now this is fine with forum boards cos they span, but htm is ok when i have used layout cells in DW, but I am stumped as to how to do it with layers, which I use a lot to overlay gifs etc.
anyone got any ideas? even when i have part layout table and part layers, it is easy to center the main layout table, but anything in a layer stays put?
and when i try to center the layers individually ...........well dont ask complete mess.

well i run dual monitors and i run my main monitor at 1024x768 because it is easier to use most websites and i can fit plenty of stuff on it, also i run a 800x600 so i hvae room for my tools with such programs as flash and photoshop and pretty much any other program, also i can make sure a website is 800x600 and run Trillian on that monitor

I prefer 2304 x 864 (dual monitors at 1152 x 864). 1280 x 1024 just is too fine of a resolution for me since I am mostly blind myself. 1024 x 768 is just a tad too small of an area for my 3D animation/modeling, which likes to eat up most my time.

It just all depends on what you're doing the most i guess.

which is fine, until you want to overlay something, thats where the problems start, means i have to make them as whole gifs, then they get bigger and still dont look right, ah well.

I design down for 800x600 but make sure my designs look okay in 1024x768 as well. I think the vast majority (almost 50%) still have 800x600 with 1024x768 right behind with about 25%

I design for 800 x 600, make sure that the design looks good in my 1280 x 1024 setup :-)

So if I want it to stretch full screen, set it up so min is around 780 (the scrollbar or whatever is left...)
and yeah... then it usually looks perfect in higher resolutions lol

i thort it depends on your graphic card on which resolution you have, im using 1280*1024 which is fine on my pc, but if i use that settin on another old pc it looks "messed up" .
