I'm not convinced changing sugar-emulator to use some odd size (832x624 with the default scaling of 72 if I've got my math right) is a good idea. Sugar should scale well to real-world screen sizes. 800x600 was chosen because it's used in actual, current hardware. If we really want to raise the bar, we should go for 1024x600 (used by several netbooks, e.g.  Asus Eee PC).

Replying to sascha_silbe:

it is default scaling, see bin/sugar.in

if I've got my math right) is a good idea. Sugar should scale well to real-world screen sizes. 800x600 was chosen because it's used in actual, current hardware. If we really want to raise the bar, we should go for 1024x600 (used by several netbooks, e.g.  Asus Eee PC).

but we already have HIG which says 16x12 cells and it is sugar emulator thus having not fully emulated (by default, since user can pass proper parameters) sugar could be wrong way

Betting that Eben has thought something about it.

I am not sure Eben does read tickets on a regular basis anymore...

Assigned the 0.90 milestone, as it is not needed for 0.88, imho.
