Thank's again Scott.

As I've said before I think the GUI is a very important aspect that shouldn't be taken lightly.

So now that I have the design I want the outstanding problem is initial size.



Q. I hope I can ask for a bit of advise or opinion about the following subject without contravening ethics or legalities.

At the moment the GUI is built at a per pixel resolution of 1600x900, so it scales up on a Full HD screen.

A predictable issue for the future is average screen sizes may increase to the point where image quality degrades.


So do I build it 1920x1080 or higher and down scale for now?


The current situation regarding average or legacy hardware complicates things in that retro fitting to smaller screens could be compromised.

Some of the issues could be incorrect scaling, loss of window focus, off screen elements like not being able to reach the exit button, object crowding etc.
