As mentioned on-list even though the *screen* is bigger than 1024 pixels
wide doesn't mean the *browser* is set to that width. This is after all a
true windowing system that can have many restored windows of different
sizes (unlike "Window 8" ;-)).
You are also forgetting those of us who have mobile devices; while I
wouldn't dream of doing real intensive work on them I do from time to time
load up a Web page to check something or other. I detest the pages that
make me scroll back and forth every line to read text (Weather Underground
classic scientific forecaster discussion, I'm looking at you!)
Please try to be civil. TDE is actually quite large, and as open source
projects go fairly healthy. So we're not the size of KDE or Gnome, so
what?
I can confirm - I usually have a screen resolution of at least 1024, but very
very rarely I have windows maximized. In fact, I consider maximizing windows
as sickness :) That's why I do not like sites that compels me to maximize
window just because they can not adapt to a smaller size.
Likewise seems to me silly when page limits its width instead make full use of
the window size. It is the only user who can influence to the width of the
browser window. And look silly if it remains, for example, 40% of the width
on white background because the author decide greater width as inappropriate.
Only if the page can adjust by the width of the window, allows for all users
to view a page as it suits exactly for them. Otherwise, always will be
someone for whom causes discomfort.
