Web Design, Minimal Window Width
Google Plus in past month () started to assume your window size must be 1014 pixels. If your window size is narrow than that, part of the content won't show, you'll need to horizontal scroll.
What is the Minimal Window Width of Web Design?
Here is some minimal sizes for each site.
- Facebook = 1014
- apple.com = 1014
- google.com = 1014
- microsoft.com = 1000
- Yahoo! = 1014
- amazon = 1033
- Twitter = 900 (mininum); (990 to show all items in nav bar)
- Gmail = 994 (mininum); 1290 (no horizontal scroll bar)
- g+ = 994 (mininum). 1080 for nav bar to float.
- Google Reader = 952
- DISQUS = 1180
The above are tested with web browsers on a PC, running Windows 7.
