[QUOTE="2BitSculptor, post: 1024826, member: 65661"] More resolution does not mean more surface for more info, but it is useful to get clean crisp detail in images. There is a limit to the reasonable amount of information you can digest at a glance. If you are viewing your screen from arms length you can view more information as long as the screen structure adds enough gaps, spaces and organization to allow the mind to differentiate the information. My experience in trying to lay out reams of information on a 35mm slide for presentation of scientific research screams out in protest when someone suggests using smaller fonts to over-saturate the observer. Less is more. My favorite design suggestion is to take a 4"x6" index card and hand-print the information in medium width ballpoint pen and hold it at arms length, to determine the amount of information and use of negative/positive design space. I believe the 2 best skins, currently, that have the most readable designs are aMPed w/font15 and MayaHD. Both have good choices in font sizes and line spacing, and balance in the use of space between elements of information for the greatest number of users. [/QUOTE]
