Screen Resolution

[Marked 197]

This is a little research to find out how big the screen resolutions are of our members. So please use the poll to tell me your screen resolution. If they seem sorta random, just choose the one closest to yours.

 

The reason for it is that my resolution is pretty small, and so to make a functional website is to make one compatible with all sorts of browsers and resolutions.

 

I was on my brothers laptop and realized the homepage is really squashed, whereas on mine it stretched to the entire page. I thought that would happen though, but set the width to a percentage after that so it should look the same on every computer.

 

I'm remaking the homepages for the RPG Maker XP and RPG Maker VX sections and im trying to make a nice banner for them. Example(Click). It should look like this:

 

The "RPG Maker VX" text is a flash animation and its a button used to return to the rmvx homepage when you're browsing scripts and tutorials etc.

I use 1280x1024 most for when I'm doing graphics myself. That way if I'm dealing with big images I can see the whole image.

 

I must say the new webpage is looking really good, wish I could get joomla working on my site.

I'm always on Screen Resolution 1024x768, but I might change it if I keep having the same problem for when I go Full Screen for RMXP and RMVX <_<.

I use 1280x800(Laptop)

 

Like the animation Marked

The VX one fits perfectly but the xp one is very stretched.

I'm glad you like it. I had realized months ago how bad the homepages were for RPG Maker XP and RPG Maker VX. Not graphic wise, but they are practically informationless. I will change them so they are also an introduction to the program(include screenshots, specs etc.) and also where to find resources on RMXP Unlimited. Also the content seems slightly outdated: "Introducing RPG MAKER™ XP, the latest Windows entry in the RPG MAKER series"

 

If you end up using Joomla, I think I'd be able to help out a little with it. Hey thats weird, its been 1 year and 2 days since the release of the website.

Thanks for the screenshot Pol, its rather useful. The animation is in a different position in mine compared with yours, so I need to alter the method I used to place it there.

 

I agree, the banner is too stretched. The VX is in general a better graphic, but its height was greater than the XP one when I cropped it, so it comes out more stretched. Won't take long to fix that one up.

 

I'll also post the logos I made for the other RPG Maker web developers, perhaps they'll be useful? If you don't look at them too much, you can almost miss the obvious flaw :P :

 

Can everyone still vote please? I would like a good representation of the resolutions of the members here.

Awww, my resolution isn't up there...Ah well I'll choose 1400x1050, its close to mine. (1400x900)

[Kiriashi 117]

[Polraudio 122]

2560x1600 :P

You will need super large icons just to see them lol.

My res wont even go that high on my monitor

1400x900 is as high as it can go. or was it 1600x900 cant remember.

2560x1600 :P

 

I don't know whether to believe it or not. O_O!

 

Anyways! My screen resolution goes up to 1280 by 800 (laptop). I hope I could get a bigger res but oh well, not gonna happen any day soon...

 

PS: The web is coming along good.

Yeah, that really is big. To be honest though I do have a list of every persons resolution who comes to the forum, sorta. The list includes undefined at 71.63%, so I have under 30% known to me, which is the reason for this topic. The resolution of 2560x1600 has viewed the website just once though, according to these statistics. Is that the resolution that your monitor is set to? When you view the RMXP homepage, the banner must look really stretched, right?

Thanks for the information Anemoi. So far most resolutions are under 1600, which is ideal for viewing the site.

 

I've been working on the homepages for RMXP and RMVX over the past couple of days. They're looking far better than they were before, and I've still got a bit to do on them. My goals are to make them informative and also stimulate their usage as well.
