| [platform-dev] Eclipse-UIs and minimum screen resolution |
|
Dear Platform-Devs, UI designers and developers have to know which minimum screen resolution they should support. Otherwise, it becomes frustrating to design UIs because there is not specific design target. Source code based editor mainly don’t have issue with this topic. When writing form-based Eclipse-UIs this topic is much more important. I am wondering if there is an Eclipse-Guideline on this topic? Does platform make any statements what the minimum supported screen resolution is?
I did not find anything on
https://wiki.eclipse.org/User_Interface_Guidelines. Or maybe your company has a company specific guideline you stick to when developing Eclipse-UIs. In order to get an impression of commonly used screen resolutions from users of SAP’s “ABAP Development Tools” we asked customers and colleagues to go to the website http://whatismyscreenresolution.net
and report the output of that page. The interesting point of this page is that it reports the “scaled” images and not the physical pixels of the display (e.g. when you have set a scaling-factor like 125% in Windows’ Control Panel). Regards, Matthias |
