I think it depends on your target audience in two aspects: the hardware limitations, and the role of your application. As Christof pointed out, 768 x 600 is probably a good target if your customers are likely to be using netbooks or tablets. On the other hand, if your application is a "sovereign" application that is likely to run full-screen, all-day, as the primary data entry application on people's desktops, you might want to aim higher, in order to pack more information on the screen and make keystroke navigation more efficient. If your app is a "transient" app that pops up, does it's thing and disappears (docks), or if it is one that should be sharing space with several others (after all, it is named Microsoft Window_S_ not Microsoft Window!), then you ought to aim for as small as practicable, like a multi-pane Wizard interface. -- Ted "It Depends" Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
