> Higher resolutions don't always mean smaller fonts. Sorry - I wasn't clear - that was my point.
As screen resolution increases, screen real estate will probably not change all that much, as people will increase their font size accoringly, and thus all widget sizes will increase as well. I'm saying that once you hit a certain point, screen real estate will simply stop to grow, as people will need to actually see things. I figure at that point, screen pysical size will start getting more and more widescreen. As resolutions get bigger, this also means that people will need to create bigger images to cover the same sort of screen size as they did before - and here's also hoping that bandwidth also increases with resolution. So yeah, I'm totally agreeing with you Gary... I just guess it doesn't seem like it. :o) Mark > > Depending on the conditions I sometimes have trouble reading "standard" > fonts and I increase the font size.
