I somewhat disagree. But I do understand what you are saying, just that I don't fully agree with you. In general it should be treated as you say, but sometimes you do want something to be displayed exactly as you have designed it. Just because it is on the web doesn't mean that it can't or shouldn't be designed as a sheet of paper. It's all about design in that case, failed or not. Personally I would make the window sit in center, and have the possibility to automaticaly adjust the text and images depending on the size of your browser window, but would look at it's best if your window is larger than the "design". Some times I rather nail the text/images so it sit just where I want it to sit. If your not going to adapt to my design, well, then move on then if that's so disturbing.
Sure, it sux if your gonna view a design made for 1024*768 pixels on a device only capable of displaying 800*600 pixels. But in all honesty, isn't it time to enter the year 2012? Or maybe we all should think of all the mobile devices and have one design that fit's all? In that case, I have to agree, since it's a much more elegant solution than to have a specific version just for mobile devices. But then again, did I or the client really care about that when the prototype sketches where drawn in photoshop?
But I think it all depends on how you are, I really don't think on the techincal side as much as I look at the visual design, I find stuff that changes disturbing at times, since it wasn't how I wanted it to look in first place, where somebody as you might find it extremely disturbing if it isn't using autoformating windows and such. But of course, everything also has it's place. A forum like this with hardcoded dimensions would be really stupid.
I mean, who's to say what's right or wrong? From a personal viewpoint only? If that's the case, I would simply say, deal with it
Everyone has an opinion, and as long as it works it seems it's only down to taste and personal preferences.
Anyway, just my humble opinion as of right now.
Hmm, I think we derailed this thread a little Hamei
Sorry for that. Back to that lovely Indigo, I really hope that you get it up and running.
