CatholicAndFanatical Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Sup everyone! I am working on a project that is written in 1024x768 resolution and it looks funky in 800x600. So I am wondering how many people actually have their screen set that low? Its easier developing in 1024, but its never attractive to those that use 800x600. So if you dont mind could you answer this, i'll take a days worth of data and average it out. If there are alot of 800x600 folks I'll have to build two versions. Thanks for the help God Bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I run mine at 1280x1024. Alot of widescreen monitors are run at 1024x768. Also, very large monitors are run at 1600x1200, but that's mainly for people doing CAD work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusader1234 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 i work at 1024x 768 sometimes at 1600 x 1200 but thats only when i convince my dad to let me on his Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immaculata Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 my home computer is 800x600, while my one at work is nice and biiiiiig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iacobus Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 800x600. It was what I was raised on. Hehe. Well, kinda. Why don't you make it in 800x600, I think things blow up better than they shirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a 1024x768 image, you can pretty easily shrink it down to 800x600 and not lose quality. This is because the 1024x768 image is oversampled compared to an 800x600 image. Going from 800x600 to 1024x768 isn't as clean as you do not have enough data to generate a good image. I would write some MATLAB code to demonstrate, but I think I've already proven my engineering nerd level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I have it has been in 800x600. In WEB Cisco Systems and Adobe told us to use 800x600 because it was most common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azaelia Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I ended up making two versions of [url="http://www.jelliebean.org"]my site[/url] because I found that alot of my friends used 800x600, and I wanted it to look good in on my puter (which is 1024x768). Ah, the things I do to please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatholicAndFanatical Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 excellent, thanks for the help so far. Two versions wont be so bad, i only have the 1024 version done so far and working on the 800x600..but man i hate switching resolutions just to build it hehe. ahh what a lazy developer i am I'll check back in this later on today and see what else we have but seems pretty even right now.
