admin(Mark) wrote: hi Robin, I like the fixed width since if offers more control on the design. Expandable theme is a smart idea since it will fit on any screen but then again, the content may fit nicely on your screen but on another screen it could look horrible. I would say to take a poll on your site and see what your viewers prefer since they are who matters. Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2006 11:01 am X-perienced ~PHP Nuke User~ Posts: 64 Next Group: 86 posts

What is the standard fixed size for all screens? Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2006 7:51 pm Site Admin ~PHP Nuke User~ Posts: 3358 Staff Next Group: 1642 posts
admin(Mark) wrote: usually the fixed width is about 790px , that will ensure that anyone with a screen resolution of 800x600 and above will be able to view your website correctly. If you check your log and most of your visitors use a screen resolution higher than that, then it gives you more room to make the width larger. Posted: Wed Mar 29, 2006 6:55 pm
