    I developed a new Magazine Style...would like to get some feedback as to how it comes across on other browsers.
    Thanks so much.

    Interesting look; however, in Firefox on an 800x600 screen it's to wide. It runs off the right side of the screen.

    Looks great, might want to center it though, the right side is a little bare on a widescreen.

    Looks great. I love themes that do not indicate WP behind it (except for the trained eye, of course!)

    Great work.
    800x600? How about you spend about 20 Dollars on a better screen :)

    I suggest you do something about the thumbnails. The squishing looks horrible. Go with cropping instead of resizing. The entire site looks like I set my monitor's resolution to something weird.

    Again, good work, mate!

    @mores .. a LOT of folks don't surf with their browsers at full size; I have a couple of honking 22 inch wide screen monitors. Why? So I can cram more windows on them. This means surfing with smaller browser windows open. So don't knock it... B-)

    I do, however, agree with your assessment of the poor treatment of those thumbnails.

    @jonimueller ... I own a mac, and OS-X does not really have a button for "full screen".
    I like to have a lot of windows side by side too, but I must say that the most comfortable, and also the safest, width is to go with a site that fits into a 1024px window/monitor. There's enough width for large content, but it's still manageable when you have large monitors and like to use smaller windows for each browser.

    I was just saying that aiming for 800x600 is asking for too much of a "downgrade" :)

    @OP .. If you want to use this great little script to resize your images, I think it's an elegant solution to what Mores suggested.
