HTML and Code design insider tricks
The secret of designing for
different screensizes.
The biggest problem when designing
web pages is not appreciating how they will look in different sizes of screen display
(resolution). The choice of resolution is determined by the monitors and
the users themselves and can not be mandated. Therefore it is very useful to
determine how pages will look in the most popular configurations such as 640 x 480, 800 x
600, 1024 x 768 and 1152 x 864.
The screen size display graphic
provided can be very useful when it is set as a background to the design windows of the
web pages. Setting this up as a "Wallpaper" enables it to be displayed as
a backdrop assigned to the desktop. Simple display and resize windows to suit
against the desktop image.
Windows Users (Windows 95, 98
and NT):
After the image has completely loaded:
- Download image
- Extract image into the C: drive root
directory
- Open up the image file (if associated with IE
it will open in that application)
- Place mouse cursor over the displayed image
- Right click mouse button
- From the pop-up menu, select "set
as wallpaper" and click
- The wallpaper should appear as the new
desktop.
Note: This may require a screen refresh
which can be done by right-clicking an empty area of your Windows desktop and selecting
"refresh" from the pop-up menu.
