It seems that the 'standard' width is nowadays tailored to 800x600 users.... so about 750 is probably as high as you want to go. The only thing I don't like about the EQ page are the ugly search and yahoo e-group boxes. It's not too hard to prune all the crap out of those and leave you with the useful bit on it's own -- the text form -- and add your own pretty stuff around it.

CRTs are traditionally measured the size of the entire glass part, because the actual used picture space is variable. LCDs are measured the actual (hardwired, non variable) picture area. For LCD->CRT you need to add 1 or 2 inches. 1 for overscan (picture right to the edge) type CRTs. 2 if there is an blank edge around the CRT (anything older, including every 800x600 I have ever seen). So your 15" Powerbook is equal to an old 17" CRT monitor. And an old style 15" (what Linda Tam has?) is about an 13" LCD. If she has an older 14" CRT that would be 12" LCD. > resolution set to 1280x854. Anything coarser than that looks way > pixellated to me... 1280x854? Now that is a strange resolution (3:2 ratio, normal is 4:3). Does the Powerbook have an 1.5 times as wide as high (normal ist 1.33) screen? Even so 1280 wide on 15" is a very high resolution (106 dpi). Average was 72 dpi around 1990 (for PC, Mac had it from the 1984 original on), growing to 100dpi by 2000 (PC and Mac). I ran my previous 17" overscan CRT at 1152x864 (= 90 dpi) and run my present 21" overscan CRT at 1536x1152 (= 96dpi). But I split that vertically in 2 halves (2 fully visible higher-than-wide windows, for 2 pages and half the scrolling), so I also like sites to fit in 800 wide browsers. -- Neil Franklin, neil@franklin.ch.remove http://neil.franklin.ch/ Hacker, Unix Guru, El Eng HTL/BSc, Programmer, Archer, Blacksmith - hardware runs the world, software controls the hardware code generates the software, have you coded today? ###### Subject: Re: New Look on EQ Homepage From: Richard Pini Newsgroups: rec.arts.comics.elfquest Message-ID: <061120021039065513%rpini@elfquest.com> References: <311020021906252728%rpini@elfquest.com> <6ud6pny5qg.fsf@chonsp.franklin.ch> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit Mail-Copies-To: poster User-Agent: Thoth/1.5.1 (Carbon/OS X) Lines: 28 Date: Wed, 06 Nov 2002 15:39:06 GMT NNTP-Posting-Host: 24.45.88.169 X-Trace: news4.srv.hcvlny.cv.net 1036597146 24.45.88.169 (Wed, 06 Nov 2002 10:39:06 EST) NNTP-Posting-Date: Wed, 06 Nov 2002 10:39:06 EST Organization: Optimum Online Path: chonsp.franklin.ch!pfaff.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!news.imp.ch!news.imp.ch!solnet.ch!solnet.ch!newsfeed.stueberl.de!news1.spb.su!image.surnet.ru!surnet.ru!news-east.rr.com!news01.optonline.net!news4.srv.hcvlny.cv.net.POSTED!53ab2750!not-for-mail Xref: chonsp.franklin.ch rec.arts.comics.elfquest:508 I've got a Powerbook G4, and 1280x854 is one of the recommended options available in the resolution control panel.

You can make it do pther resoluitions -- like 800x600 or whatever, but the image has to either be streched to fit the native resolution (interpolation), or not fill the whole screen. Interpolation looks horrid. -------------------------------------------- Fairlight - azzichseb@aol.com --------------------------------------------
