Well, I have to say I agree with Simon. I myself have a resolution of 1920*1200 and the thing is that the table on this page : http://myfaces.apache.org/team-list.html at my resolution the table has the columns on the right hidden.
In the old version it looked ok. Adonis just showed me the cayenne site : (http://cayenne.apache.org/) which is quite awesome in terms of layout. It's fully font-size resizeable and somehow window resizeable. What do you guys say?
