I can understand your point, but I must say that in the past 5 years since I've been using 21" monitors with 1280x1024 resolution, i've found no other way to clearly see the text on the screen. any time i use such high resolution, the text is simply too small. how do i deal with it?
also, i believe you should have a maximize button. I test software for a living and every tester i know dislikes it when software doesn't have a maximize button.
thanks for listening!
