The screen should be devoted entirely to content, not application infrastructure, and definitely not to windows half-obscured by other windows.<br>It interesting, I've found myself struggling with the common problem of trying to cram more "stuff" on screen. The end result is that over the years I've increased my acceptable (read: tolerable) video resolution. I'm currently running at 1600x1200 both here at work and at home. I get particularly frustrated when I'm using my laptop and am then constrained to a paltry 1024x768. My high resolution preference combined with my penchant for small fonts has caused my coworkes to constantly utter "How can you read that?". Additionally, I rearrange the toolbars in IE such that everything fits onto a double height toolbar (includes regular menu options, most standard nav buttons, address bar, Google toolbar, and Yahoo! toolbar). I've also found that if I'm ever in a pinch for more screen space I can use WinXP's recent support for multiple monitors enabling me to have my desktop split between my 21" monitor and my laptop's LCD display.<br>robertonoreply@blogger.com
