				 Dom3 Community Screen Resolutions 
 I am working on a map editor in which the user interface is critical.  Screen space is a premium and I was wondering:
 What is the average minimum desktop resolution for the typical Dominions fanatic?
 
 Keep in mind that the question is what desktop resolution (not what resolution you run Dominions at).

				 Re: Dom3 Community Screen Resolutions 
 Strange to see 1280x768 as an option, but not 1280x1024. 
Desktop: 1280x1024, but I almost never use it. 
Notebook: 1024x768 (native resolution)
 
I think the resolution is not that much of an issue if you can teach your program to scale depending on window size, or have slider controls. Do you have a screenshot for it?

 1280x800 for laptop.
 1680x1050 for desktop.
 
 More time spent on the laptop recently, but that shifts over time, depending on how busy I am.
