Best sizing for 800 x 600?

I’m composing for 800 x 600. I’d rather people not have to scroll like crazy to see everything. On average, what’s the most efficient setting (width and height) … using as much of the screen as possible, without scrolling being necessary?

Thanks!

I’d say 700x400, it fits comfortably with my setup of IE6, but that’s just a guess, and everyone will be set up slightly differently :smiley:

yea 700X400 is a good suggestion, however you have try and see who your visitors are going to be. for example, i just did a site for a metal of honor clan, mostly everyone who plays games and stuff like that is usually looking at a higher resolution, so you can design bigger. but thats just my thaught, im sure some designers wil tell you otherwise.

I really am one for designing for everyone, but as digitalosophy stated, if you have the stats showing that there is a high majority of your viewers that use a higher res, then you CAN design for bigger (although I still wouldn’t recommend it, but it gives more reason to be able to)

I believe around 700x400 and 750x450 should be good for 800x600 monitors.

Kewl. Thanks guys!

:tie: Hmm, now how do I force my Flash content to line flush with the top of the viewing area? … I have a pic at the top of my Flash movie, but when previewed in HTML, it lines up 1/4" from the top.

set your margins via HTML to “0”
