I deploy (fancy word saying I have a load of ancient Pentiums . . .)
some machines
in my school hooked up to flat-screens with a Max Res of 1024 by 780. I
mean,
at $10 a pop those monitors were impossible to resist!
I make my EFL (English as a Fried Language) standalones to a "standard"
of 1024 x 720
because of the XFCE panels top-and-bottom on my standard Xubuntu setup . . .
Smaller monitors: dunno: even my iMac G3 turquoise manages 1024 x 780. I
really wonder
if anyone is going to be so cash-strapped they cannot at least manage a
monitor that does that.

We use a height of 728—that’s in compensation for a variety of issues—some
laptops have very small screens:
LC window title bar (can be hidden by LC if necessary)
Windows Task bar (can be hidden by LC if necessary)
You can get the height of the screen:
(item 4 of the working screenRect) - (item 2 of the working screenRect)
You can also easily resize the window by using scaleFactor. We do some auto
resizing when opening the program to scale it down for very small screens, and
have a preference setting for the user to scale it up to maximum available
height.

Bob, thanks for the info...I will start with 1024x768 as a minimal screen
resolution for now and see what happens. As for the combo of menus and
buttons I will try to find if there is a benefit of both and also usability
space within the app.
My target platforms are Windows 10 and OS X 10.X
