What are the optimal Revolution stack dimensions to fill a screen set at
1024x768 resolution (I'm using Mac OSX to develop)? Setting the stack dimensions
to 1024x768 seems too big, because the titlebar adds extra space on Windows,
and the dock gets in the way on Macintosh. It would seem that one would have
to set the stack dimensions to less than 1024x768. But what dimensions are
optimal? Thanks.

On Macs, the top of the stack needs to be down about 44 pixels and
then you need to leave space for the dock at the bottom. You can use
the windowBoundingRect to tell you how much space this leaves you, or
you can just make an allowance that will be OK for a large dock and
leave space above a small dock.

With Windows, you will need to allow for the taskbar at the bottom. I
don't know how big this is, but again, the windowBoundingRect should
tell you.

Side-to-side, you can fill the screen on either platform.

Actually, I keep my dock on the right instead of at the bottom, and Windows users can also move the toolbar to one side. Both Mac and Windows allow the dock/toolbar to be resized to various dimensions also (I keep mine really teeny.) So you can't even count on side-to-side consistency.
