Hi Dani, thanks for answering.
I am talking about the IDE (as we are building an IDE here at SAP). So with “where” I would say there are two real use-cases. A user uses a laptop screen and a user uses an external monitor. I know that there cannot be a “strict” and general rule but a guideline would really be of help.

It depends on the application and where (device) it's used. Or are you specifically talking about the IDE? What results did you get out of your survey? The UI guidelines did not get an update for quite some time.

Otherwise, it becomes frustrating to design UIs because there is not specific design target. Source code based editor mainly don’t have issue with this topic. When writing form-based Eclipse-UIs this topic is much more important. I am wondering if there is an Eclipse-Guideline on this topic? Does platform make any statements what the minimum supported screen resolution is? I did not find anything on https://wiki.eclipse.org/User_Interface_Guidelines. Or maybe your company has a company specific guideline you stick to when developing Eclipse-UIs. In order to get an impression of commonly used screen resolutions from users of SAP’s “ABAP Development Tools” we asked customers and colleagues to go to the website http://whatismyscreenresolution.net and report the output of that page. The interesting point of this page is that it reports the “scaled” images and not the physical pixels of the display (e.g. when you have set a scaling-factor like 125% in Windows’ Control Panel).
