FLASH: Designing for Monitor Resolution

[Bill]

We've been having a discussion on a mailing list about what monitor 

resolution to design for. I design ofr 1024x768, but others argue 

that 800x600 is still the commonest resolution and design for that. 

The following stastics were given me as current resoltions in use:


800x600    55.01%

1024x768    19.34%

640x480    19.24%

Other    3.19%

1280x1024    1.56%

1152x864    1.38%

1600x1200    0.25%


Im not sure I believe these statistics. Two questions: Does anyone 

have a source for hard statistics about monitor resolution in use? 

What resolution do people think one should design for?


Does anyone detect resolution in use and adjust pages for it? If so 

is there a reliable method that works with all OSs, Borwsers and 

browser versions?


TIA,


Bill Blank
