Micropolis' GTK opening screen is too big for netbooks #11

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

When starting the GTK version of Micropolis the entry screen seems to be 
802x602 pixels (excluding the window borders). This is too large for netbooks.

On a typical netbook we have 1024x600 screen real-estate, in a bad case, for 
example GNOME with two menu bars, would eat 25px top and bottom, only leaving 
550px height. And then there is still the window border to fit in.

So ideally the Micropolis entry screen should be at worst 1000x520

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

svn revision 512

I just noticed that the default and minimum window size for the actual playing 
window is also 802x602 pixels, so ideally that should a be a little smaller too.

For Simcity Classic on windows it could run on 640x350 with 16 colors
