Darrell and Rob pretty much sum up the two camps on this topic: * Resize the form dynamically to fill the screen * Make the form one size and don't worry about resolution I am of camp #2. Right now I have three monitors and a television hooked up to my primary desktop. Two are set at 1600x1200. One is set to 1280x1024. The TV is at 320x240. I never, ever, ever have any windows/applications maximized. It's a waste of space. I need my space. ;) Be nice to your users - design for 800x600, or use a web-based interface that is truly scalable using styles. Things are different in a corporate environment where "the man" can effectively tell all of his employees that they have to use resolution "x" and only application "a", "b" and "c" can be open at any given time. I hate that. My desktop isn't a tornado of billions of applications open at once, but it's arranged well for maximum productivity FOR ME. IMO, developers should make every attempt to either provide the user the ability to decide how they want to interact with the program, or cerate as minimalistic an interface as possible to avoid wasting their desktop area. Don't make me maximize your application. Please. :) Regards, Shawn K.
