Monitor Settings for distributed applications

[ontsjc]

Hello all again,

I normally do development with my screen set to 1240 x 760. Some of my clients do not share this screen setting. How do you design your screens and all so that when you distribute an application it will adhere to your clients machine (lap tops are a particular problem for some reason.) Do you just have to design your application with the lowest screen settings in mind?

I generally design everything for 800 X 600 resolution. Don't seem to have many users set to 640 anymore.

I suggest setting 640x480, if you still work along with 2 years back computers in your org.. or thinking of wide distribution.
However 800x600 is more the default in todays world.
Your current scenario shall guide you ! ramani

You may want to consider additing Scrollbars to your forms for those that use lesser resolutions. But there are restrictions - see my response in thread184-69579.
