1600 x 1200, and no problem clicking on my gnome desktop icons :D
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

The standard to stick with is 1024- anyone lower generally won't have the hardware to view a reasonably image-intensive website properly anyway, so 1024 is the lowest common denominator. Also, formatting your website for 800x600 is a surefire way to make it look like **** to 90% of the populace.
Webpage. Yes.

The resolution-whorism in this thread is appalling. Yes, I run at 1024x768 (or 1152x864 at work). But the fact is that only incompetence stands in the way of designing a site that looks good whether it's running at 800x600 or 1280x1024.

And Odyssey, those fixed-width centered-column designs are godawful, because more and more screen space is wasted as the resolution increases.

FreeTerran, if your site design includes 800x600 bitmaps (or blue-on-black text)... please get someone to break your fingers.

1024*768, as although my GFX card can support up to something utterly incredible, my ****ty monitor can't go any higher, and it's got a crap refresh rate, too.

Damn Belinea.

I really need to run a higher resolution, as when you have as many icons as I have (103), 1024*768 just isn't enough.

Well, as long as the main panel is scalable, I'll give you ½ of a :yes:

Watch your fonts and contrasts, because very few people will like the page if you have the same color scheme as your posts here.
who needs a signature? ;)
It's not much of an excuse for a website, but my stuff can be found here

Exactly. It punishes those with enough money to be able to afford a graphics card and monitor that supports stupidly large resolutions.
Anyway, if you're using a large resolution, you need a large screen. Hence, the actual page ought to be roughly the same size whatever resolution, since dot pitch between displays ought to remain relatively constant. Unless, as I said before, the person is bloody rich, in which case they can suffer :)
