I seem to have blundered in assumptions about what stack size will really work, practically speaking, on 800 X 600 displays.

A stack size of 800 by 566 set to the screenloc on start up on OSX on a 800 X 600 display appears with it's title bar underneath the menu bar... and the bottom of the stack is cut off. Opening a second stack in that same window behave differently... the second stack jumps up and the title bar disappears under the menu bar.

Obviously I should have played with this carefully at the beginning, as i put a group of buttons along the bottom edge of the stack that simply disappeared below the screen.... fortunately there is plenty of vertical breathing room in the design to make the stack height smaller...

800 x 555 with a stack loc set to 400, 325 seems to work well.

but, before I go inventing this wheel, I am guessing that some of you out there have already got the cross platform presentation stack sizes and locations already wired. I am looking for an optimum set of values that I can just use for everything. do we have to think about vertical toolbars on windows? if so, how many pixels is that off the max width of 800? i.e. should the optimum stack size for 800X600 displays for all platforms be something like 760 X 550? And if so does "set the loc of this stack to the screenloc" work for all cases? I've had enough feedback to know that most presentors want to be able to access their menus, toolbars etc. and yet still be able to see the whole presentation.... what do you recommend from your experience?

TIA
