Topic: What size browser viewport do you use?

[-<WillyP>-]

Just curious, I'm still working on the test site for upgrading to SMF2, and noticed that at smaller view-ports the header overlaps the menu-bar. So an informal poll of what sizes people normally run their browser at.

Example: My monitor is 1600 X 1200 px, and I usually maximize the browser, although sometimes to read wide text I'll reduce it to about half width to make it easier to read.

My current monitor is 1024 x 768 and I maximize my browser.

Although, my new monitor will be 1600 x 900 and I will maximize my browser there as well.

1440x900 or nothing for me.

... noticed that at smaller view-ports the header overlaps the menu-bar.

At work I have a 1280x1024 monitor, but I typically keep my browser window at 600x400 or smaller.

At that size, the header and menubar are still fine.

[SaladBadger]

1280x1024, maximized, with minimal toolbars (chrome without link bar). For the new site, the panes for the different forums should be made a LOT smaller. The current images (for post read/unread) are way too big. Most sites I view can display ~15 forum sections, 20 if the descriptions are short and there are no subforums. PD.net peaks at 10.

what size browser? I main resolution is 1366x768. Is that not the same in a browser? or am I missing what you're asking?

[Foil]

Not everyone always keeps their browser maximized (e.g. me, when I'm at work, watching a build or a test run).

[Canceler]

1440x900 and maximized

[Greyryder]

1920x1080 maximized.

[VANGUARD]

mine is always maximized, but not a full screen, like when hitting F11.

Same here...

I used to use IE until I saw how much better Firefox worked on a friend's laptop... now I use Firefox for everything.

Wow, 600? at 640 this is what I see:

You're using the lame style that's why

Try changing the header to using a fixed size instead of a % as I think you're using. Maybe that will help?

[Shroudeye]

I'm at 1366x768 and I prefer it maxed, as like everything else I do.

Re-checked the size.  My browser at work is occasionally as small as around 700x500, which still looks fine:
