We did design to the minimum. Flat Grey was tested down to IE7 on Windows XP at
800x600. Here is a screen shot.

how many companies to you know that go out and get the latest and greatest.
most have a 15in 1024x768, that I deal with.
and a lot use the new netbooks which have a 10in to 11in 1024x600
should not we design for the minimum standard with the ability to use the
newer stuff?

Or have the option to move the masthead and main navigation to a column.
Modern wide screen monitors have plenty of horizontal space.
I have a patch that does that, but it's not ready for committing yet.

Quoting Ryan Foster<cont...@ryanlfoster.com<mailto:cont...@ryanlfoster.com>>:
Actually, if you were to calculate total screen real estate and
compare pixels of the header, tabs, and footer of the "Old School"
(Old Flat Grey) vs. the header and footer of "Dorian Grey" (New Flat
Grey), I believe there is actually more total workspace area in the
new theme. The difference is where those pieces are in relation to the
fold on the old vs. new.
I do think that it would be be a good idea, however, to add back in to
the new theme the ability to collapse the header again. That way, if
you are working in a particular application such as the Catalog
Manager or Accounting, etc. for an extended period of time and did not
have an immediate need for the main application nav, you could
collapse it out of the way and free up even more screen space.

ctrl + in a browser, allows larger text plus under accessibility for
the oS you can choose larger font, so that is not a biggy to me.
however all the extra component tabs at the top goes against the
reason they were put at the bottom in the first place, and the real
estate.
just my 2 cnets

One of the advantages/disadvantages (depending on your POV) of the old
Flat Grey theme was the tiny text and tiny links. Everything was
made as
small as possible. The updated theme enlarges and opens up things a
bit,
but at the cost of less work area space.

just a note:
under freeing up screen space
add the tabs that were at the bottom of the screen takes up real
estate also.
on a 1024X760 screen the menus wrap causing less screen space.
when comparing the now Old school to the new flat Grey I have less
screen space.

The vast majority of end users are only going to setting their Time
Zone, Language, and Preferred Theme once. A typical user will set
their personal preferences and may never change it again. Since this
is information is of a peripheral nature, it was moved to the footer,
freeing up more screen space for the more important day-to-day
information, and de-cluttering the header to put the focus on
navigation.

if there a reason it can't be on the top where the browser shows the

Look at the bottom of the page. All preferences, including Time
Zone, Language,
and Theme are now in the footer on the Flat Grey theme.
