That's the exact same resolution I use. I use it on a 20" LCD. I do a lot of hi-res image editing, and with a 5mp camera image, you'd need a HUGE monitor to see all of the image in its original format in order to better examine and edit it. When I'm examining an image, I need to be able to see ALL of it, or as much as possible without scrolling or the distraction of toolbars, hence the full screen view which accomplishes that much better of course than the standard view. I use a "triple deck" or triple layer toolbar layout at the bottom, so that takes up some room. (From the bottom up; 1st is an address bar, 2nd is where the open apps reside, 3rd is the Quick Launch toolbar where I have about 35 shortcuts). I need it 3 level not just for the shortcuts, but also since I multitask a lot and can have a dozen or more apps open at the same time. You can more efficiently access them & switch between them via mouse clicks on a larger dedicated toolbar area since of course more will fit without being hidden.
Since I can easily have IE open all images even after I go with FF as the default browser (IF that is), there's still the problem of the examining of large images on the net via browser which FF would be opening. Yeah, .NET will unfortunately probably have more significance in the future. I've had to install it 3 times since certain programs demanded it, and every time had undesirable effects. I did without the programs. :-) One that comes to mind was one of those POP3 enabled Gmail apps. I posted something on that. First one I tried required .NET to work, but the program never worked so that was no real problem since the second one I tried worked, and didn't need .NET. (One was Gpopper, the other was "POP Goes the Gmail", but now I don't remember which was which). -Clint Happy Holidays to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Vandervoort" < You have much more interesting problems than I do. I'm currently going nuts with wireless installs that come and go on a whim. I've never had any use for kiosk mode. My 19" monitor at 1152 x 864 and a minimal IE toolbar gives me all the screen real estate I need. What's the advantage of full screen for you? I haven't paid much attention to .Net and don't really understand it, even after reading the MS info. I understand it might be significant some day, but for now it doesn't seem to affect me as an internet user. ****************************************************************** I don't have .NET installed (and don't want to install it), so I don't have that area to disable it. Ok, FF=FireFox. You know, the Windows Taskbar at the bottom of your monitor screen where all the open apps reside, System Tray, Quick Launch toolbar, the clock too. When you go to full screen in IE, you can mouse hover this area and the taskbar shows. Remove your cursor, it hides again. It's total disabled in FF in full screen. The only way to switch between apps is to minimize or restore to normal window. -Clint ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
