I agree. I specify a minimum of 800X600 (to allow for the fact that many hospital computers still have minimally-configured desktops.

I am converting a HyperCard stack to rev and I wanted to go beyond the old classic Mac 9-inch screen size. I put a centerme command in the openstack script, but I would also like to size the screen automatically to a size that is standard these days. I don't know how to do that. Is there a good, all-round screen size, and how do I set that as a default for my stack?

To be safe I design for a minimum of 800x600, which is supported on most computers made in the last seven years or so.


But recent stats from this article <http://www.onestat.com/html/aboutus_pressbox31.html> suggest that the tide is shifting quickly to 1024x768:

Rank    Resolution      Market %
----    --------------  --------
1.      1024 x 768      54.02%
2.      800 x 600       24.66%
3.      1280 x 1024     14.1%
4.      1152 x 864      4%
5.      640 x 480       0.6%
6.      1600 x 1200     0.8%
7.      1152 x 870      0.1%

While I would still design for a minimum of 800x600, it may not be more than another year or two before we can safely consider 1024x768 as a good baseline.
