The default is deliberately large, non-rectangular, and not a power of 2 so as to provoke as many bugs as possible (eg half-full tiles not being treated correctly, etc). The large size is to provide some incentive for people to optimise screen redraws so we don't get too many. For a proper release, the default size should be made something smaller (256x256 sounds reasonable). Actually, I'd like to make the default resolution something quite different from the screen res. and also non-square, just to make sure people are treating non-square pixels correctly. Eg, 75x150 dpi might be a sensible choice. > The default toolbox-layout is IMHO ugly. Should we default to the > layout with three columns? Yes. Austin
