My app uses a 640x480 window, because I want it to display on all PCs with
no problems, but now it's running out of display space due to new features
that I've added that I must have instantly-viewable (ie. without switching to
another Panel tab).

So I'm thinking maybe it's better to have my window as 700x550 minimum,
but I'm concerned this may be a problem for 640x480 users. But then again,
how many people run their Desktop at that size anyway? So, please vote so
I can get a general idea if using 700x550 would be okay. Thanks!

I use 1152 x 864, it's the highest for 100 hz on my Monitor.

I've been using 1024x768 for as long as I can remember. Any larger and my old eyes can't cope.

Can't honestly remember the last time I saw anyone using anything smaller. Not for at least 6 years.

Nobody uses 640x480 anymore ("nobody" = less than 1% )

use 800x600 as the minimum desktop resolution.

I run 1400x1050 on this 15" LCD screened laptop.

*Pack all the junk you can on the little screen. I should just unpack (from my move) one of my desktop systems that uses a decent SamSung 19" LCD, but hey, that would take great effort and patience. *

The people I know who don't run at 1024x768 or higher run at 800x600. Anything smaller, and web browsing becomes an adventure.

I'm at 1024x768 at home, and 1280x1024 at work.

AIR.

I think 800x600 is pretty safe, but I stick to 640x480 for my own non-resizable windows.

When it gets cluttered I use a hidegadget()/disablegadget() approach and some buttons so users can see a section. Bit like panels but without the panelgadget. Click a button, all gadgets are hidden and then those needed for this view are shown.

Also you can use scrollarea.

Do this because of the noisy minority (The adventurous < 1%)

1024 x 768 @ 19" here as my eyes strain a little too much any higher.
Eyes just not what they used to be I guess.....
Agree with Dare2, 800 x 600 pretty safe, but noisy minority (The adventurous < 1%) will always be there. :roll:

1280x1024 @ 17'

1024x768x32 @ 12.1"

1280x1024 here

> I use a hidegadget()/disablegadget() approach

Yeah, but there comes a point (in my app anyway) where I want to see all
the items all of the time. I can't afford to hide any of them, otherwise I
lose productivity switching PanelTabs or clicking to hide gadgets. So that's
why I've gone for a bigger window, and bad luck to any 640x480 users.
(Besides, the only time I see 640x480 is if I have to boot into Safe Mode).

1280 x 1024 x 32

2560x1024

Haha, just like in school: "Mine is bigger than yours!"

(2x 1280x1024 )
