What screen size should i use?

Post by Keith Wilson » Thu Jun 28, 2007 8:05 am

iFamily for Tiger hates a 12 inch screen, and does not really like a 13.3 inch screen.
  • The minimum useable screen resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels.
    17 inch screen is fine
    20 inch screen is excellent
    24 inch screen is superb
    30 inch high resolution screen - oo la la.

    And for the real pros

    2 x 20 inch screens is very excellent
    2 x 24 inch screens is very superb
    2 x 30 inch screens and a 24 inch roll fed colour plotter - dream on
If you need to use a small screen (< 15" ) and any of the dialogs is too large for your screen then you can try one of the following options:
  • Use Cmd+W (Apple+W) to close the dialog window.
  • Move the Dock to the Left (or Right) side of the screen, or hide it.
  • Right Click on the Toolbar and select " Icons Only" instead of " Icons and Text"
  • Click on the green maximise button to make iFamily fill the screen.
  • As a last resort - hide the Toolbar by clicking on the button in the top RH corner of the main window.

Hi Keith

I'll have one of those, I could handle the 20 inch even more so the 30 inch and a big smile. :-* :-*

All going well, enjoying all the new features.

I'm surviving on a 12 inch without any problems. So well done Keith, making a program that performs on bigger screens, but also caters for the little guys. ~Luke

Yep, got to say - I use a 17" imac and its great, but looks better on my parents 20" . But, don't sell yourself short, I also use it on a 13" MacBook, and have no problems at all. It looks just fine !!
