{column}{section} The smallest common screen resolution these days is around 800px x 600px (width x height). We reccommend that if you use a fixed width you do not exceed any more than 770px to avoid dreadful horizontal scrolling (something end-users loathe). Remember that some of the screen width is taken up by scrollbars, shortcut bars, quicklaunch bars, etc., depending on the configuration of the end-user's machine. h2. Show Information Panel *Availability:* Builder 1.5 and above *Default:* Enabled (show the information bar) The information bar appears at the top of pages and newsitems and looks like this: !page_info_bar.gif|align=center! As you can see, it contains the following information: * Author * Last Editor (and date) * Change comment (if applicable) * Page lables * Favourites button * Watch page button In many cases, this information is useful and desirable - such as in this user guide. However, for glossy websites and/or intranets, this information is not needed and clutters up the top of the screen. To hide the information bar (and therefore all the items in the list above), de-select this setting.

By disabling PNG support, you reduce the amount of work the web browser has to do in order to display a page, thus making your site seem more responsive. On pages with lots and lots of images, this can lead to noticable speed increases within Internet Explorer.

Remove Dashboard from Breadcrumb Trail

Availability: Builder 1.5 and above. Distinct option in 1.6 and above.
Default: Disabled (show Dashboard link)

By default, the first item on the Breadcrumb Trail is a link to The Dashboard.

In some scenarios, having a link to the Dashboard would be highly undesirable so you can use this option to hide the link!

When selected, as we've done in this user guide, the "Dashboard" link will be removed from the start of the breadcrum trail.

Note: It's still possible to get to the dashboard, but hiding this link greatly reduces the liklihood of that happening. You may also like to take a look at our tutorial on Custom Dashboards.
