Still? Sorry, didn't thought of users like you...
So images should not be wider than that, and the user guide suggests 400 pixels to avoid messing other users' screens up.
Double-sorry - I either forgot or never read that part... may try to squeeze my images down to 400. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Seriously, both Jérôme's above uploaded photos and my uploaded graphs for the OECD education statistics are multiples of 20kb. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Seems to me many websites have a basic 800x600 design, and though ET isn't limited by it, it's based on it...
Obviously, if everyone's got a bigger one than me, I'm just going to shut up :-)
On the other hand, a well-designed website should be browsable with a text-only browser (such as Lynx). And, in the age of hand-held devices like phones and blackberries, 800x600 is a luxury.
Inline images should have ALT text, too. guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper
I never thought about website design, but now that you said, I see a lot of what I visit (also BBC's or SPIEGEL ON-LINE's) are indeed for 800x600 - but others are of a dynamic design.
As I said, I will be more careful from now on. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Actually my screen is not large for any particular pleasure of mine like CGI or games or whatever of the sort, it's just that I can then fit a lot more code horizontally in it and it then makes my work easier (I get annoyed at programmers who wrap their code around to fit on 800x600 screens, it makes the code more annoying to read, to me that is). That's also why I had tried 2 screens, then it was awesome - I could write really large lines of code stretching from one screen to the other, this was useful for some features I used.
But like I said, the problem with 2 screens it that it becomes kind of a gadget, as you can then drag windows from one screen to the other, decide what opens where etc etc. And I ended up wasting a lot of time shifting things around, which I didn't do before that (I'd then -and now- just pile things on top of each other).
