Slightly OT, but my pet peeve is the growing number of sites that assume a minimum browser width that is wider than I like to keep my browser windows, as if everybody kept their browser window maximized at all times. I still read old bare-HTML sites often enough that I don't like to do that; I prefer to keep them about 800 pixels wide. Too many sites won't fit; some of them even manage to turn off the horizontal scrollbar, a neat trick.
I think the largest minimum width any page should assume is 640. I could live with 800, but 1024 is too wide.
- pistoriusp 16y agoMaybe 640 for a content area, but most sites shouldn't exceed 960 in totality.
- nhooey 16y agoI totally agree. I have two 1920x1200 screens, and I put two browser windows per screen, so I always max out at exactly 960.
- lhnz 16y agoThat sounds like extremely productive HN'ing. ;)
- StuffMaster 16y agoI wish I had a million upvotes for this.
