"Can I change the way the website looks on my screen?"
Screen Resolution & Colours
Different computers have different screen setups. Your
computer is likely to be set to one of three resolutions
- 640x480 pixels, 800x600 pixels or 1024x768 pixels
(where the numbers represent the width and height of
your screen). Pixels are the little dots that combine
to form the characters and graphics you see on the screen.
This website will look very big on the 640x480 resolution,
will sit comfortably on 800x600 (the most common resolution)
and look quite condensed on 1024x768 (the newest screen
resolution).

If
you have a computer which
is only a few years old, you
will be able to change the
screen resolution by simply
changing the Display/
Settings or the Control
Panel/Monitor of your
computer.
The number of colours
displayed on your monitor will
also affect the quality of the
images displayed in a
website. The colour palette
should read a minimum of 256
colours, but if your computer
can handle it, it is preferable
to select High Colour (16bit) or
True Colour (24bit)
