Scratch

The problem is not my screen, but the most used screen resolutions.

Statistics about browser resolution (january 2008) :
640x480 = 0%
800x600 = 8%
1024x768 = 48%
higher = 38%

I hope this answers your question

His point is that we should (I think) either have the scratch "screen" in which you have the sprites do stuff on be larger or to be able to make larger costumes.

Anybody with a screen smaller than 1024x768 is probably a dinosaur, so it's a non-issue.

That is a ridiculous statement. Plenty of people use screen sizes other than 1024x768 and what about people with bigger sizes? Scratch has also been used on the ever-more common netbooks such as the Eee PC and OLPC XO.

I didn't say OTHER than 1024x768, I said SMALLER that 1024x768. My screen is 1920x1200 (24")
So unless you're holding on to that 10 year old 640x480 Dell, you should be fine.

Netbooks do have small screens, but the resolution to screen size ratio is much bigger, so a larger Scratch size should be fine.

Buddy_ca111's point still applies though, your screen is larger than mine and therefore problems could still occur. Most netbooks, though having larger resolution to screen size ratio, are still much smaller than 1024x768.

However, we are drifting off topic. I think mchr's original point was regarding the size of Scratch's stage. I agree that a larger stage would be great but you then have the problem of how to fit it into the existing Scratch layout with compromising the other features.
