Thanks Gordy, and Graham, for you very helpful advice. If they are not already there, these could go into "Helpful Tips".


For the monitor "real estate", I shall work on the premise that parents stick to the simple taskbar in Windows. For Mac parents, if they have a dock problem, I can communicate with them personally (the joys of small!)

Groete uit Suid Afrika,

Ryno.

I know that for the current bunch of applications that we are writing
for our company, we have set 800 X 600 as the minimum monitor
resolution.  But you have to remember that you do not have the full 600
pixels height available, unless you take over the entire screen (which
is usually considered to be bad behavior for an application, with the
possible exception of games).

If I remember correctly, we usually allow for about 40 pixels or so for
the height of the task bar at the bottom, and so any windows we design
we keep to a max height of about 560 pixels.  As far as the width, we
usually use a max width of about 700 pixels.  That way if folks have a
dock on the left or right side of the screen (Mac OS X), we allow space
for that as well.

and

As for putting stuff in the middle of the screen, you can do
  set the loc of this stack to the screenLoc
This is probably best done in a preOpenStack handler.
