Anyone still designing there sites to stay within the boundaries of 800x600 width?
14% of people still using it!!!

I think people using 800x600 deserve to scroll left and right!!

Depends on the type of site - if its mostly content-led, then optimise for 1024x but have it liquid-squashable for 800x users.
If it's graphics-led with hi-tech whizz-bang (a technical term) then you're targetting higher spec users, so it's cool to go with higher resolutions.

fluid css layout is the new 800x600

i have 1400 res screen, but i view sites at around 900ish because i like to see all my other windows and desk top icons.
also sites that are 100% look rubbish at 1400.sites at 1000 + pixels wide piss me right off.

Not seen many good looking sites using fluid though.

flexible, with a minimum width of 7xx px
If you care about all the macbook users, that rarely have their browser windows fully enlarged.
I think you should still consider 800x600.

Im agreeing from a accessibility point of view, but i’m saying creative wise i haven’t seen that much thats impressive.
any links?

The thing is, there're a lot of high profile sites that are ignoring 8/6 now - NYTimes, Timesonline etc.

to me 800x600 is as equivalent as painting on a 4x6 canvas. bah!
- kelpie0
