Hi, recently google labs has launched a tiny web app to tell which amount of users can view a certain area of a web page without scrolling. They do it with a translucent overlay on top of the actual page.
<http://uxmag.com/short-news/new-google-app-shows-how-much-of-a-websites-content-is-above-the-fold> http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/ BTW_ it does not work with my FF on Mac. But Safari is ok. If have 2 questions. Why are the areas so rough? I do not mean the aliased (is this the oposit of anti-aliased?) 3 pixel borders between the areas. I wonder about the forms as such. E.g. why is there an initial bump for the 99% line at the left edge? And the jumps in the horizontal dimension are also not quite predictable to me. Google has tons of data, therfore I would expect a different distribution. And second. I'd like to compare other charts for browser view sizes with google's. Does anyone have resources on this? cheers Matthias PS_ a classic from Milissa Tarquini: Blasting the Myth of the Fold, Boxes and Arrows on July 2007 http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/blasting-the-myth-of -- User Experience and Interaction Design http://www.mprove.de Powerpoint.
