Minimize any open applications to the task bar. Right click on your desktop wallpaper. Click "Properties" and then select the "Settings" tab.

Currently doing some video editing hence the screen difference... The Canvas Playback and the Viewer on the PC... The timeline sequence on the Mac.

800*600. 17" KDS CRT monitor.

Since there was only one other person out there who noted using 800x600, I upped mine to 1024*768. The only differnce I can see if that the everything is smaller...

OH.. wait.. I can now see all the tabs buttos to the left where I used to only see down to the TIPS. I think it was..

I'll levae it like this for a while and check out some of the other sites..

Brad, why do you ask, anyway?

Jason, everything on this site since it's introduction in 1999 was based upon an 800x600 screen resolution, even though a few were still using 640x480 (or whatever that lower resolution is). There were a few running 1024x768 at that time who complained there was too much wasted space on the screen and that pages didn't format well, so I've always tried to make the site such that it formatted ideally in the most common resolution people were using, but wouldn't look too weird when viewed with a higher resolution.

6 years later and I think there are few people still running 800x600, so I am considering upping the size of images and such so it will format more ideally in 1024x768, since I feel most people are running that resolution these days.
