I just did not think I could make justice to the MistyLook theme's looks if I adjust its size. I will definitely create new themes that are good for 1024x768 resolution.

One could easily agree that 800x600 is a very outdated resolution -- everyone uses 1024x768+ or 1280x800+ widescreen nowadays (Mine is 1440x900). However I think that with all the handheld and embedded devices that are beginning to flood the market they could easily produce a 5% share of all the visits -- think of iPhones, Nokia Internet tablets, even the newest generation smartphones have a 800x480 resolution - a resolution which in my opinion won't increase because of the physical limits, even if the resolution increases further we would still experience a wave of DPI increase -- an effect which we are already beginning to observe on notebook computers -- you can't read text normally on a 14" TFT at full HD resolution and 96 DPI... What I'm trying to say is, the increase in resolution in a screen with a fixed physical size over time might actually be directly proportional to the DPI. Since most people are more comfortable reading larger text, most of them would increase the DPI, say form 96 to 125/128 which would make the font size larger. To give a concrete example of the situation -- A website viewed on a 1440x900 resolution with 128 DPI is approx. 200 pixels narrower than the same site viewed with the same resolution but with the default 96 DPI. My vote is not for completely abandoning the 800x600 resolution - it will still be used in one way or another. A very elegant solution to this problem would be to drop the sidebar below all the posts when the screen resolution is low or the browser window is resized -- the main wordpress.com site used to do this with the tags sidebar through a complex CSS coding - no javascript -- just using fixed sizes and percentages. This way users with lower resolution were still able to open the website and enjoy it without a horizontal scroll. Good luck and keep the good work!

I came to this page while I was searching .. ^-^ I think the best designer who makes his design flexible to all people, and with all resolution and browsers. So your site will be the confluence for all people. Also, I think this resolution (800 * 600) is very small to see all the page clearly! Thats what I thougt ! nice site & Best Regards, Hi !
