Dear Platform-Devs,

UI designers and developers have to know which minimum screen resolution they 
should support. Otherwise, it becomes frustrating to design UIs because there 
is not specific design target.
Source code based editor mainly don’t have issue with this topic. When writing 
form-based Eclipse-UIs this topic is much more important.
I am wondering if there is an Eclipse-Guideline on this topic? Does platform 
make any statements what the minimum supported screen resolution is?
I did not find anything on https://wiki.eclipse.org/User_Interface_Guidelines. 
Or maybe your company has a company specific guideline you stick to when 
developing Eclipse-UIs.

In order to get an impression of commonly used screen resolutions from users of 
SAP’s “ABAP Development Tools” we asked customers and colleagues to go to the 
website http://whatismyscreenresolution.net  and report the output of that 
page. The interesting point of this page is that it reports the “scaled” images 
and not the physical pixels of the display (e.g. when you have set a 
scaling-factor like 125% in Windows’ Control Panel).

Regards,
Matthias
