1024 wide....

I've stayed with the designs that cater to 800x600, but I'm
beginning to break the mold. The stats I track on a variety of
sites indicate that less then 5% of people are using settings this
low, and to be frank, if you're still running a 800 wide
resolution, are you really the type of person that's doing much
ecommerce?
What are some suggestions for building a website catering to
the 1024 and higher crowd? I've started a design that's 950 wide...
will this fit in all the browsers at a 1024 resolution?

Screen 1024

Hi,
I am using a normal selection screen with that i am getting the scroll bars as the screen is big.
My requirement is that i need to display the same selection screen with screen 1024.
Can any body let me know how to do that?
Thanks,
Mungala.

The screen resolution is 1024 x 768. You are proving this out on this web site because you are getting this resolution. This site is measuring the horizontally resolution correctly on both landscape and portrait. Remember the header and status bar take part of the vertical resolution, and this page does not include that. You are getting 768 wide in portrait, and 1024 wide in landscape because this is the resolution of the screen without the header and status bar.
As far as fuzzy test, I have never noticed this at all. If you zoom in on the text on some documents, it will get somewhat fuzzy due to the zoom process such as Adobe Reader files. Other pages and documents resize and are very sharp.

How to delete a 6.2gb file from my ipad.

I downloaded 6.2gb of holiday video from my PC through iTunes to iMovie and synced onto my ipad. It used up the 6.2gb on my ipad (in settings) but does not appear anywhere at all. How can I find and delete the 6.2gb from my ipad?

I assume you meant that you synced the finished file via iTunes to your iPad. If you did this, did you make sure you sleeked the make iPad version from the tool bar in iTunes.
If you didn't. Then sync your iPad again, but select no movies to be synced. This should remove the 6.2gb file. Just as a thought I have a number dof digital copy movies from DVDs on my pad and none are more that 2.5 gb and that's for a 2 hr 30 min movie. How long is yours?
If it's HD then it may not play on an iPad as the display is only 1024 wide in landscape

Page Background Lost on Regions above Content Area for Some Pages

Hi - I am a iWeb novice, but not a total rookie on this kind of software...
I have a simple iWeb project that applies a gradient fill to the page background, and applies one of the gradient colors to the Browser background on every web page. I am using the "White" theme, and I have trouble with the "Photos" page template drawing Page backgrounds correctly. I have my content area set wider than the default to 1008 pixels to fill a 1024-wide display. I set my display area to 877 pixels high to coincide with the largest media dimension that I see with the inspector.
I looked here for previous discussions on this and failed to find anything. Maybe I missed a post...
Initially, most web pages load and display correctly the first time. One Photos web page, however, displays the Browser background - not the Page background above the centerline of the page name.
On several pages with a "Photos" template (but not all), the initial page is displayed correctly. But, when I click on a photo thumbnail and the page is revised to display the larger photo image in the content area, the Browser background is displayed in error above the content area, and the Page background displays correctly below the top of the content area.
I have looked for some consistent issue or characteristic that might let me predict when this problem occurs, but it ll looks rather random. It is repeatable, though - clearing caches and reloading the same page exposes the problem the same way a second time for the same page, in other words...
Is this a bug, or something subtle in placement or overlap of areas on the page that I haven't noticed? Anything to be careful with to avoid this problem?
Thanks anyone for any advice!

Hi Cyclosaurus and Apnewbie -
Thank you for your interest and replies. Here is a simple page that illustrates the problem I am having with a Page Background Gradient Fill on top of a Browser Background Solid Fill
http://web.mac.com/bccrowe/Troubleshooting/KyliesArt2.html
Here, I intend the page from the very top to the bottom of the defined content area to transition from pink to white as the eye moves left to right. The browser background is also pink to add some depth to the image - that's what you will see when the page loads.
Click on the child's drawing to present the image, and you should see the gradient disappear above the centerline of the second text box (above the comment area) when the page finished loading with the large drawing.
The Content area coincides precisely with the bottom of that second text box. I have tried to move the content area further below the text boxes so that they are not imtimate - no difference. I haven't tried to separate the text boxes, yet.
The two text boxes immediately above the content area are 45px x 630 px (18 pt text) and 30 px x 630 px (14 pt text) - they overlap by about 10 pix.
The content area that displays the thumbnail is 1008 px x 445 px (I thought that I set that at 877px...). I can try to set the content area to 877 px... Maybe this is the problem - maybe the Page Background shifts down to coincide with the bottom of the next page#2... Hmmm...
When you click on the thumbnail, the page#2 content area is 1008 px x 877 px.
In iWeb, this all looks the way I want it to.
Please diddle with the page, and ask me any new questions! I appreciate your insight and help. In reality, Kylie won't notice the background change, but my next objective is a corporate site - this child's site is my "training" site. iWeb is really pretty flexible and easy to use. If I there's a work-around or something to avoid, I can live with iWeb just fine.
Thanks again -
Brian

Is 1GB RAM Macbook + Intel GMA 950 graphics card enough to play WoW ???

im thinkin to buy macbook, but im not sure is it enough to play WoW or not ?? has any1 tried to play WoW in macbook ?? is it lagging or not ??
please reply. Thx

I installed WoW on my daughters MacBook white 2.0 GHz today. I bought it from the local Apple reseller and paid for 1 GB of RAM - instead of putting in 2x512 sticks, they took out 1 of the 256 MB sticks and inserted a 1 GB, so the machine has 1.256 GB of unmatched RAM - this may have an effect on the graphics performance, I'm not sure.
Anyway - frame rates at full resolution and using the default video options gives about 25 fps inside an inn, and about 12 fps outside. Running across a bridge or doing something else that puts a lot of changing detail on the screen can cause the fps to drop to around 10. The game is quite playable, though I haven't tried a raid with it. Changing the screen resolution will increase the fps. Changing to 1152 wide increases the fps by about 50%, while changing to 1024 wide will about double it.
At 1024 wide, the fps is about the same as on my 1.25 GHz PowerBook running at 1280 wide.

Background stage question

Hello Developers,
I normally use the stage colour as the background, but I want to change the colour of the background for one scene in a new IOS app I am coding. This scene will have some objects that are animated. I just want to use a solid colour.
Is the best way to do this is to use bitmaps of small dimensions (say 64 by 64) or to use small vectors shapes, from an efficiency standpoint? I normally set the app with GPU mode and not Direct.
Any links or tips is most appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin

I believe that Flash takes the 100% sized version of the bitmap and sends that over to the GPU. The GPU then scales it to the desired size. One way we use that ability is with Retina graphics, we'll have a 1024 wide stage with a movieclip at 50% size, and inside is a bitmap that is 2048 wide. On Retina screens you get the full quality, not a doubled up 50% version.
As for redraws, you'll only get a hit if the symbol that was sent to the GPU changes. Your scaled or tiled background won't have changed, and so won't have to reload, even if things are moving around on top of it.
If you did tile a bitmap that would take up a little bit more RAM, but not more GPU memory. So, if it's a flat color backdrop it shouldn't matter whether it's scaled or tiled, and if the background has some texture, then a repeating tile would be the better option.
If you haven't played with it yet you should give Scout a try. One thing it can show you is which areas of the screen are having to be reloaded.

CP6 HTML5 output not completely displaying on Ipad

I just attempted my first CP6 HTML5 project.
Worked great in Chrome browser.
Worked not so great on Ipad. About 40 pixels of right side of slide cut off and about 30 pixels of bottom cut off (viewing in landscape).
Verified size while viewing in Chrome and is exactly 1024 wide.
CP6 project setup: Selected "Ipad 1024x672".
Published to HTML5 and Zip file (running on LMS)
Any ideas why 1024 won't show up completely on Ipad?
Thanks,
Dave

Got it working. Needed to select the check box labeled "Scalable HTML Content" in the Advanced Options area of the Publish window.

Project and Exporting

Im trying to create banners for my iweb website...my page is 1024 wide and i want the banner to be like 80 high...what do i need to do when i create a project and export it to make it the best looking it can possibly be?

What format are you planning to use? QuickTime? Flash?

Avoid Streching Tables

I just created a website with tables. I used a template for
the whole website. All cells look ok on the template but on some
pages the left and top cells stretch too much. Any remedy for this?
the webpage is www.sbmtd.gov

Your design is too wide because of the very large images you
have in the
header. The majority of your visitors will be running at
resolution of 1024
wide or less, yet at that resolution I have to scroll
sideways which is not
good. Remember that a screen resolution also includes the
verticle scroller.

Struggle with tiff2icns command

Ladies and gents,
I'm playing around with tiff2icns command and unfortunately not having much of luck despite it is pretty simple command.
When I do "tiff2icns filemane.tiff filenime.icns" it creates empty .icns file.
But if I use -noLarge argument then I do get at least feedback "tiff2icns: no appropriate images found. writing empty file"
I tried couple of tiff files, different resolutions etc...
A bit stuck... Can someone advice?
Thanks.
Regards,
Kris M

Hello Kr15_UK,
It may be that the command is not able to locate any images that match the image sizes listed below.
Searches for 48, 32, 16, 128, 256, 512, and 1024 wide images (in that order) and converts them to icons. Doesn't do any scaling, doesn't generate mini (12x12) icons. If no 32x32 image was found, and the -noLarge flag was not passed, one is generated by scaling the image.

Hi,
I only got my iMac from the previous owner last week.
He reinstalled a clean copy of 10.6.1 and I then upgraded this to 10.6.3. a couple of days ago.
I also connected my old NEC1880SX monitor in pivot mode (Portrait 1280 high x 1024 wide), using the mini port to DVI adapter and my old DVI cable.
All went flawlessly, both monitors showing separate desktops and screen savers, but giving me one large desktop almost 3600 pixels wide!
Everything else also working perfectly - except THAT HDD FAN!!!
It starts at ca 1000rpm; this increases to 3000rpm after about 5 minutes, which is audible.
After about 15 minutes the revs are over 5000rpm - very LOUD.
All temperatures are normal (iStatMenus). A 5 second 'sleep' resets everything, the revs are low, then the cycle repeats.
I'll try a diagnosis run later this week.

The Good Proportion?

Hi guys,
I know the Golden Section can help you out in getting nice website layout proportion. I got a bit confused if the current standard is
1024 px
why those online grid calculator start measure are:
830 px
http://www.grafikk.co.uk/gridmaker/#/12,60,500,10,16761021,true,10,10,16732743/
or
910 px
http://netprotozo.com/grid/
for the Page Width?
Thanks for any info!
Cheers,
Sebs

Since you cannot control the HEIGHT of your page, the Golden Ratio goes out the window, and you have to consider more practical and pragmatic dimensions. Consider your target demographic and imagine what their MINIMUM screen resolution will be. Most likely that's 1024 wide. In that case, you would try to accommodate at least a 1024 wide (i.e., maximized) browser window for your pages, without a horizontal scrollbar. To do that, you need to consider the contribution that browser 'chrome' makes to the viewport width. At a 1024 minimum, you have about 980px of available width. Thus, making your pages 960-980px wide will guarantee you no horizontal scrollbars on those screens. At least that's how I figure it.

XFCE4 with GDM - Login Screen Format Configuration?

How does one adjust/configure basic things like the size of the GDM login screen in this environment? As it stands, it is much wider than my initial video mode allows, causing the Login button, for instance, to be off the right of the screen. I can still log on using Tab to the button and such, but how does one fix the format problem? Where is the configuration for the GDM login screen kept when using XFCE4 as the desktop manager? All the suggestions so far presume you are using GNOME and not XFCE4. Thanks!
- Michael

I don't know how to tell which xorg video drivers are installed but will happily check if you tell me how to do so.
Adding vga=773 to the linux kernel cmdline (e/edit/f10 in grub) has no effect (no change in symptoms). My xfce4 desktop has an initial resolution of 800x600, but automatically adjusts correctly when I fullscreen the VMware session with Ctrl+Alt-Enter, so I would have to say that xfce4 is performing properly after login. The grub login menu acts as if the screen was perhaps 1024 wide, but it gets clipped to an actual 800x600 graphic window during login.
This is in a VMware Workstation 7.1 virtual machine installed using 'Other Linux 2.6.x kernel 64-bit' which seemed to be the closest match to Arch.

Average Website Resolution

I typically build websites with a 800 wide theme in mind, but
I'm wondering if the average resolution viewed has gone up? Anyone
know?
Microsoft's Live Office sites, for example, seem to have a
1024 wide theme.
Thanks.

Resolution is not the critical issue. Browser viewport width
is. To make
your decision you need to have some ideas about the following
issues -
1. What is the primary target demographic for this site?
2. What are the browsing habits of that demographic? Do they
normally have
their browser window maximized on the screen?
3. If they usually have their browser maximized, what is the
typical screen
width?
4. If they usually do NOT have their browser maximized, what
is the MINIMUM
screen width in that demographic.
5. How do I want to build the page?
a. Fixed width and left aligned?
b. Fixed width and centering?
c. Flexible to fill whatever width from left to right?
d. Flexible (within limits) and left aligned?
e. Flexible (within limits) and centering?
As you can see, this decision is probably much more complex
than you
thought, and will require that you know quite a bit about
your intended
target visitor and their browsing habits.
If you elect to go with 5a, or 5b, then your decision would
be - 'what is
the mimimum browser width I want to support without
horizontal scrolling?'.
Once you have determined that minimum supported width, all of
your decisions
are made. That's how wide you want your page to be.
If you elect to go with 5c, then you just build your page
within a flexible
container (the simplest example - although an obsolet one -
would be to use
a 100% width table to hold the entire page). Be aware that
pages with
limited text content can look VERY sparse and empty on wide
viewports when
built in this way.
If you elect to go with 5d, or 5e, then you would add this
sophistication to
your decision matrix -
'what is the greatest width I want to allow the page and its
contents to
become?'
In this case, you would use the CSS styles - 'min-width' and
'max-width' on
the primary page container. Just so you'll know, although
these styles are
well supported *now*, earlier versions of IE (and some other
browsers) will
not support them so reliably.
So - which is it? 8)

IOS 7.1 wallpaper zooming issues

I know that the new ios update was supposed to solve the wallpaper sizing problem but I seem to still be having trouble.
My problem is that when I preview my wallpaper it is to the right scale. Everything fits nicely on the screen. I have perspective off. Everything is great but once I set it as my home screen wallpaper the image appears zoom in and I don't know why.
This only happens for my home screen wallpaper, my lock screen wallpaper is fine.
Can someone please help. This is bothering so much.

So here is the workaround for a screen with 1024x768 resolution (ipad2). Create a blank image file that is 1024 wide by 1365 tall. Cut and paste your 1024x768 (landscape) image into it. On the ipad, select that picture for wallpaper - however, this is another Apple bug - you must "set" it in portrait mode. Don't ask me why. Even though it looks right in landscape, it will zoom it after you set it there. This seems to work fine. But all of this is to work around a bizarre programming change that Apple made.

1024 wide....
