Any Widescreen UIs?
 

I just got a Compaq Presario with a wide screen monitor. my question is what resaletions are "wide screen" reses. If anyone knows of a ui that is made for wide screens, that would be helpfull. BTW my laptops graphics card cant go above 1280x726 ( or someting around that ).

Thanks for any help in advance.

Standard CRT monitors display images with a width-to-height ratio of 4:3. Widescreen resolution has a typical ratio of 16:9 or 16:10.

852x480, 1280x720, 1280x768, 1365x768, 1920x1200 are common widescreen resolutions used.


As far as UI's go, most authors follow two basic patterns. Customized graphical bars that work with only certain resolutions (AYA UI) or customized windows that work lilke lego's for you to layout on the screen (X60). You just got to find one that works for you in the "lego" sense to fit in nicely with the widescreen.
