Dom3 Community Screen Resolutions
I am working on a map editor in which the user interface is critical. Screen space is a premium and I was wondering:
What is the average minimum desktop resolution for the typical Dominions fanatic?
Keep in mind that the question is what desktop resolution (not what resolution you run Dominions at).

Re: Dom3 Community Screen Resolutions
Strange to see 1280x768 as an option, but not 1280x1024.
Desktop: 1280x1024, but I almost never use it.
Notebook: 1024x768 (native resolution)
I think the resolution is not that much of an issue if you can teach your program to scale depending on window size, or have slider controls. Do you have a screenshot for it?

You caught me. 1280x768 is my resolution so the poll was slightly biased.
My biggest concern was the screen width and I am relieved to see no 800's listed. There is already some scaling to screen size, but some of the panels are hard pressed with a width of 1024. The UI is still changing and I hate to show it in it's current state. Most of the work so far has been in reading, error checking & writing of map files. I have a long weekend coming up and I will try to post a screenshot then.
A big thanks to everyone for their input!  |

Re: Dom3 Community Screen Resolutions
1280x800 for laptop.
1680x1050 for desktop.
More time spent on the laptop recently, but that shifts over time, depending on how busy I am.
