I searched this subject and found a few interesting posts but none discussed my issue so perhaps this is a time for a good discussion. My issue is: I have a dell 13.3" Inspiron 13 7000 laptop.I didn't set out to purchase this unit but kinda stumbled across it. Glad I did. I really like it, a lot! The top screen resolution is 1920x1080. speaking of resolution, that is my issue with AA. I expected things to be smaller, and they are. However, sometimes, even with the Font size set to 'Largest' and changing the text box size to 11 or 12 doesn't seem to make much difference. Yes, I know it will still be smaller than on a desktop screen but sometimes, after closing AA and reopening the fonts on the grid and text boxes became smaller.
I discovered that sometimes the issue is the style itself. The font sizes for style to style vary so it limits what style one can use. No doubt, I the fonts are too small, I could use the style I like to create a new style, which, in my opinion, would be the preferred option.
OK, this is where you come in. I would like to learn what you have done, as a developer, to over come screen resolution issues. Specifically, what resolution is best to develop with so that it will be visually pleasing on 3 year old desktop monitors as well as new desktop monitors and laptops, including those with touch screens. On a larger desktop and laptop screen, I believe the touch will, if not eliminate, nearly replace the mouse and offer smoother and quicker data entry.
Why do I bring this up? Simple, my customer will be buying at least 1 new laptop along with a new desktop to be used as a server. In a year or 2, I expect they will expand their horizons to include tablets for their field staff. The customer also wants to take home a laptop and utilise the app from home. I'd hate for the customer to purchase any device and then have to redo the app because of a resolution issue.
Any thoughts, ideas or suggestion is very much appreciated. No doubt others will be 'enlightened' as well.
