Brian Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hi all, I am looking into the site layout and general presentation, and would like to take a quick survey of what screen resolution most of you use? 1024x768 shows full screen with no scrolling needed, while smaller screen resolutions might need scrolling to view the whole page. If you are not sure what your resolution is, right click on your desktop and select settings. The sliding bar should tell you what resolution you are currently on. Thanks, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeguy Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I use 1280 x 800 pixels, and to date, I've experienced no objectionable effects. Best Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 not sure about the size of resolution I am currently using, that's not an issue. My problem is the color of the side scrolling bar, the color shown is very light grey on white background making it very hard to use/see........... can one change the color of that or we need the Despot to do that ?

Ed Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 1024 x 768, works fine. color blue / white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I understand the Bungo's problem about the scrolling bar. The color of the scrolling bar on the right side of NMB page cannot be changed, even if I change the property of Windows. The color looks very light blue and white. I think the color of the bar is controlled in the NMB design. not sure about the size of resolution I am currently using, that's not an issue.My problem is the color of the side scrolling bar, the color shown is very light grey on white background making it very hard to use/see........... can one change the color of that or we need the Despot to do that ?

pcfarrar Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 The colour is only like that on Microsoft Internet Explorer. It is much better on Firefox and easier to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 The scrollbar color is very difficult to change in .css code apparently. I'll be looking into it. Firefox has no problems...I think this is only in IE that the colors are close. But why not use a mouse with a wheel? I just roll the wheel to scroll...haven't had to use the scrollbar in ages. Who knew running a forum would force to me to learn coding. Argh. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Thanks folks..the replies do help. The reason that the votes don't add anymore is that the poll was set to run for 14 days, and then closes. So no problem with your votes Much appreciated, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRM Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hello all. I use 1920x1600 on my desktop, plus whatever a MacBook defaults to (i believe 1280x800, but it's downstairs at the moment) for the laptop. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich S Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 You know me, as simple, old style as possible. 800x600, no graphics, b&w (no color except links), no Javascript Did you poll really end in Sept 2006??? :-) Don't recall if I mentioned it before, but if you turn off javascript on my geocities site, you will not get any ads, popups, etc and the pages will be full screen. :-) Rich S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 800x600 at home, and 1280x800 on the laptop. Oh..and yep, this thread is indeed 2 years old :D :lol: Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich S Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yes, this site is one that actually is nice, clean, simple to use - the way all sites should be You do a nice job, thanks. Rich S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Rich, Not to sweet talk you or anything (I think you are well past those days :lol: ) but that is a real compliment coming from the person who has THE single best English Nihonto website anywhere in the world (Oh..and of course who gave birth to the original NMB ) You should publish your website oneday, it would make a really fine book.

Rich S Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Brian - Thanks, you are too kind. But why publish something (which is a pain in the arse and expensive) for something that folks can get for free? Anyone is free to copy my site FOR THEIR PERSONAL USE -but not for publication on the web or in any other form without permission. In the states that is considered part of the fair use doctrine for copyrighted material. Actually that is the easier way to go, since you don't have to be concerned with the site actually being offline due to bandwidth, etc. Rich S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirkO Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Brian, Maybe it's a good idea to reopen the poll and let it run for a longer period in time. Especially given the holidays and so on. That way you would get more representative figures. Personally I'm running 1280x1024, like most 19" TFT's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Dirk, It's not all that necessary anymore. I used it in the beginning when I did the layout of the forum and checked to make sure it displayed ok for everyone. Now 2 years later, I am pretty sure it is ok for most, and don't want to recode the entire layout. That cost me most of my hair as it is. :lol: Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
