There is no standard. Monitor resolution also does not give you any clue about DPI settings, user font size, window size, zoom level, etc. There a million philosophies about web design and the only answer is for you to do what you think is best for your site... At home I have 2048x1152 monitor on primary computer, 1200x1600 on secondary (yes, portrait orientation), my phone has 800x480 (landscape), my wife's phone has 240x320 (portrait), my grandpa is using 800x600 on a 19inch monitor... you can imagine websites look very different depending on which computer I use.

But http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/ seems to be saying that more like 30% of Google visitors have screens narrower than 1024. > > The problem I'm having is that when I make a web page the pictures are > > in a different position as viewed from various computers. > > I'm not sure what you mean (or how this relates to the monitor resolution). "bigskypa" is probably assuming that everybody runs their browser in fullscreen mode, so that it takes up the full monitor resolution. Really, a better measure is how big people's actual browser windows are. But a web page needs to be able to adjust to different browser sizes. If your layout changes in unpredictable ways because you resized your browser window, you need to fix your HTML layout. That's one reason why GIMP isn't a good web design tool, though it's great for making individual graphics to use as part of a web page. Perhaps try an HTML forum to figure out where your HTML is going wrong? ...Akkana ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

If that's not the case, check your CSS and HTML for issues between the browsers. Generally the only reason the images should /appear/ to be in different locations is because someone is viewing the site wider or narrower then what you are seeing. If you check out http://www.joseph-a-nagy-jr.us on a variety of machines, you'll see that the images are placed pretty much in fixed positions across all monitors, resolutions and web browsers. -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

[Gimp-user] Web resolution question
Is there a typical or standard monitor resolution a web site should be designed for? The problem I'm having is that when I make a web page the pictures are in a different position as viewed from various computers. Any ideas? ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
