Sometimes I use the ‘webdeveloper toolbar’ within Firefox, but quickly close this again after usage, cause the ‘Navigation Toolbar’ and the ‘Bookmarks Toolbar’ allready take up a lot of space.

Also it doesn’t seem possible to remove the bar that holds the tabs…Or is there?

Everybody has got something with their browserwindow, of course also things not mentioned here, and it is impossible to keep everybody happy.

Some just will have to scroll…Others will just have to increase textsize to their likings…And some should just buy a monitor of this time.

…I will continue my exporations with 1024×768 in mind for the time being.

(thanks Mike!)

Hi Erick

No standard way as such as everyone will have different browser set ups. I think the solution is to work well within 1024*768 e.g. pixels wide and if aiming to fit full height with no vertical scroll on a maximised 1024*768 window then say 570 pixels high.

As folk mention above it’s difficult to call exactly due to monitors, browser set ups. I simply aim to work well within 1024*768. It may mean some white space but I kind of like that…

Mike,
What exactly do you mean with the following:
“reductions for toolbars etc”

Is there a standard way to keep this in mind?

Agree Erick.

Sure 1024*768 will be the next 800*600 but nothing ever stays still, colour was the new black and white, high defintion will be the next colour.

Everything changes ;-))
