Hello
These days many people use laptops... Anyone have an idea what is the recommended window deisplay size is these days?

The default is 640 x 480... but I think this is no longer applicable...

I still like to keep the window small despite the availability of very large displays, to encourage users to go full screen rather than try to find
best resolution from them myself. Now, we have from very square to very panoramic displays, why trouble yourself with it :) Use size that will fit in
every body's screen (like 800x600) and provide them with fullscreen button if they like to see it larger. Unlike few years back when full screen was
a job for Javascript and we had to worry about cross browser compatibility or pop up blockers, current full screen is control by Flash Player itself,
and it will work regardless the OS or browser, so you are safe and very compatible ;)

best regards

Sebastian

the other option for a web page would be to specify height = 100% width = 100%. BUT, if I were going to popup a small window to display our panorama I probably would try using 800 x 600 or similar with the option of clicking on the full screen button. I know of some website developers that use 1000 wide for normal web pages because so many people to have larger monitors.

Here is what we use in our office [full screen dimensions]:

netbook 8 inch 1024 x 600
notebook 15 inch 1024 x 768
monitor 22.6 inch 1680 x 1050
monitor 24.5 inch 1280 x 1200
