Often, web designers target a particular browser window size. There isn't agreement on which particular dimensions should be used, but a good number of web design pundits offer similar recommendations. For example:\r\n\r\n*  http://960.gs/ (recommendation: width:960px of course)\r\n* http://www.useit.com/alertbox/screen_resolution.html (recommendation: 1024x768, but test against 800x600, 1280×1024,1600×1200)\r\n* http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/11/23/screen-resolutions-and-better-user-experience/ (comments show advocates for 1000px, 960px and 968px)\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat I'm thinking:\r\n* Allow authors to choose a particular canvas size both on the New File Dialog and offer an ability to change dimensions (probably via some UI on editor toolbar). We would offer a list of commonly used sizes (e.g., 1024x768) plus a custom width/height option\r\n* The dark gray 5px border that we should now around the editing canvas would be replaced by some simple graphical frame that has an inner area equal to the current canvas size. (From an implementation perspective, maybe we can auto-construct a simple silhouette SVG that has the correct dimensions)\r\n* Preview-in-browser would _not_ show the frame and just run directly in the browser\r\n\r\n","number":684,"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/maqetta/maqetta/issues/684","comments":4,"assignee":{"login":"JonFerraiolo","id":706721,"url":"https://api.github.com/users/JonFerraiolo","gravatar_id":"7d36042b898a8cb379cab49328f3f231","avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d36042b898a8cb379cab49328f3f231?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png"}},"comment":{"user":{"login":"JonFerraiolo","id":706721,"url":"https://api.github.com/users/JonFerraiolo","gravatar_id":"7d36042b898a8cb379cab49328f3f231","avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7d36042b898a8cb379cab49328f3f231?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png"},"created_at":"2011-12-27T19:57:04Z","updated_at":"2011-12-27T19:57:04Z","id":3284643,"body":"Pushing to M5","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/maqetta/maqetta/issues/comments/3284643"},"action":"created"}
