k.digennaro Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Right now I'm working on a web page, and I think I've learned enough about coding to start my images. But I'm not sure how big I should draw them in PDN. For instance how big should i draw the buttons? how big should the whole canvas be? Etc. any one know of a web page or something that gives you these? Thanks Kevin Quote Support Our Troops, End The War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I try to keep mine no wider than 780px, to accommodate an 800x600 monitor.

Stephan Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I disagree, and say that you can use a 900px width limit. 800x600 isn't the web standard anymore, if even though some people tend to say it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Ryan Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 If at all possible create it using tags that adjust to screen resolution. David posted an example in your other thread. As for the buttons, it really depends on how many pages you are wanting to link to. For instance, if you have four buttons I would say go for 200px each. But if you had 8 I would recommend 200px each. From their, you also have to know your height based on the layout you are wanting. So, in the end it truly depends on the design as well as the entirety of the project. If I think I am right about what you are trying to accomplish, post some more details over in the Lounge.

harold Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Well i think normal dimensions are 1280x746.... That is so rare that I doubt it even exists as native resolution on any screen. (you'd have to use custom resolutions.. not many people do that) If not 800x600, then at least 1024x768. Lots of screens just look crappy at anything larger. Though laptops often have widescreens, laptops are by no means the standard. Quote I would write plugins, if I knew what kind of plugins were needed..

Your posts say 800x600, but your screenshots say 1280x1024 :? I know you have an eye problem, but why put the screenshot on on 1280x1024?

david.atwell Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I agree - 1024x768 is now the web standard. For people who 1) are in the know and 2) have the ocular capacity. Many people don't. So unless I'm doing a web page for geeks only (EDIT: And sometimes even then), I'll program it for 800x600 - it makes things fit nicely for people with smaller monitors, and it gives a nice buffer zone for people with larger monitors (makes things look more clean).

Stephan Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Many people don't. Primary Display Resolution (1439533 Users)800 x 600 24,323 1.69 % 1024 x 768 458,882 31.88 % 1152 x 864 74,797 5.20 % 1280 x 960 569,003 39.53 % 1440 x 900 105,925 7.36 % 1600 x 1200 24,432 1.70 % 1680 x 1050 129,643 9.01 % 1920 x 1200 32,576 2.26 % Other 19,952 1.39 % Do not limit yourself... Those 1.7% Really aren't gonna bother you. And there's no such thing as a 800x600 res monitor. Those would be CRT monitors, and they can be set to higher resolutions with quality loss.

jerkfight Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 this sounds good imho : 900 x 700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k.digennaro Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 so this is saying that most people use 1280 x 960? Quote Support Our Troops, End The War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkfight Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 so this is saying that most people use 1280 x 960? thats what the survey states, but i would go lower the 1024 by 768 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.atwell Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Fine. This point still stands: it gives a nice buffer zone for people with larger monitors (makes things look more clean).

BoltBait Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 When designing web pages, it is best to design it around the sizes of banner ads that you will be running. They don't just come in all sizes, you know.

I try to avoid the "omg ur screen iz so small" convo as much as possible, so I just amp up the resolution when I take screenshots.
