 You may find screen usage statistics interesting:

 Half of users are still on 1024 or less horizontal pixels.

 Conversely, the other half are still on 1024 horizontal pixels, or
 more :-))

Just because that is the size of my screen does not mean that is the 
size of my browser window. I hate websites that assume the two are the 
same.

Of course, as websites read this info using Javascript, the tests 
don't work on NetSurf anyway.

Thank you so much for your help.

My graphics refresh problem has been kindly solved by Michael Drake.

 The problem to which I was replying, Richard, is the second half of
 Tims response: in that IF you have set Netserf to open a window at
 less that 1098 pixels, then NONE of the  lower frames are
 displayed until you widen the window yourself. This happens even
 if you have a 1920 pixel wide monitor. No other browser I have
 seen (not Firefox nor Safari, nor Explorer, nor Fresco, nor
 Oregano2) behave this way. Netserf will close all the lower
 columns again if you make the window narrower than 1098 pixels.

I'm a tad surprised the same happens with the latest build. NetSurf
r6542 (16 Feb 2009). As a matter of curiosity are there other sites that
exhibit this behaviour?

  Luckily I know Rogers excellent site

 Many thanks for the compliment Richard. If you have any good flower
 photographs to contribute, you are welcome to submit them. All
 contributions acknowledged.

Sadly no.

 show a horizontal venetian blind effect, consisting of repeated

 Do you use Geminus? If so, open its Choices and in the Accelerarion
 options, add an entry for NetSurf if there isn't one already and make
 sure the 2nd and 3rd options are unticked for NetSurf.

Aha. I do indeed run Geminus. Many thanks Michael. Now 2/3rds 
un-ticked :-)

  I can't comment on your graphic refresh problem but have noticed
  you expect everyone to have hugely wide display. At 1280 pix
  wide, I still can't see all your last column without buying a new
  screen. At first, Netsurf displayed only the overlapping row of
  images at the top until I dragged the bottom right and the
  columnar frames suddenly appeared.

 This problem has been reported to Netsurf about a year ago.I t's a
 Netsurf problem, no other browser exhibits it, not even O2.

I've looked at it on Firefox on the PC with a 1280 x 1024 monitor and
guess what I am unable to see the fourth frame. Luckily I know Rogers
excellent site so I know there is a fourth frame. If you scroll down the
third frame there is some text about how to see it. I usually click on
Maximise and the fourth screen magically appears (or most of it).

I must confess I quite like the frame layout - it seems to suit the
subject well but really requires a wide screen to make the most of it.

Regards

Richard

I think you can also scale most browsers such that it is scaled at 
less than unity magnification. It will then fit on a 1024 pixel wide 
screen.
