Hi everyone,
Any suggestions on a header width? I'm creating a blog site, don't have info re: user resolution settings and just want to something that will fit on most folks screens, yet at the same time doesn't look uber narrow for folks with higher res screens and/or big monitors.
I can't really go with a fluid/liquid design right now - I'm using Artisteer to create a quick design and it only does fixed width at the moment - or I'd have to edit CSS myself and not up to that (!)
Is 800px a decent width? It looks really narrow on my computer, but I'm afraid of going too big. So just wondering what other Drupalers are doing and would love any suggestions.
Thanks!

960
Hi Mona
960px is an emerging standard, and is a useful width for implementing grid-based layouts. See: http://960.gs/

960, seconded
Yep, agreed.
Bigger than 960 is probably OK for most, but might be a bit too wide for some users, so if you're looking to stay safe, that's your number.
BTW, there's a Drupal theme based on 960.gs: http://drupal.org/project/ninesixty
Awesome, thanks guys!

Anything from 900 to 1000
Anything from 900 to 1000 seems to work, for most, Hopefully theres enough room for your columns, but the others are right 960 works well, and allows you to have a couple columns plus a couple columns within panels if your using panels. How do you like artisteer by the way. I use it for most my themes now and it speeds up my time tremendously. It usually needs some messing around with especially if I use panels but not too big of a deal.
