Over on Wisdump the question has been presented What Resolution Will You Design for in 2007?.

Overall, I will be sticking with a 770px (8×6 res) width on the content sections of sites. I’m not doing this necessarily for resolution size. For one, I have a decent resolution on my desktop (1280×1024) and I hate sites that span the width of my browser. Not necessarily design elements but content elements. Give me a two column layout that spans the width of my browser and there’s like 40-50 words per line (more or less) in the content. Plain out, I’m not going to read it and there are many who won’t.

This doesn’t apply to the design element of a site. For instance, take a look at the Ruby on Rails site. You have the design of the full browser width but the narrow column to retain user focus.

So what do you think? Will you change the way you design sites?
