Really is an issue with many sites, not just DNN. As Leupold suggests, using fixed sizes for skins help diminish the issues, but don't get rid of them for every instance. If you have a public site, analyze your visitor usage and target your design to give you the best coverage for the majority of the browsers being used. A client I had had 95% IE6 users, so that's what we targeted in the initial design. We, also, employed various methods of allowing visitors to scale the site display themselves.
A very good example of this type of self-customization is being used on the main DNN site. At the top of the page, you will notice various icons that allow for visitors to scale the width of the display, and the font size. Nik provides that skin object, when I got it, it was a freebie contribution. Now, don't know if that's still available, or if it works with the most recent version (probably does since it's used on this site), but that's really the best you could do to help control the situation IMHO.
I'm updating a site later this weekend, so I'll be looking at doing that very thing, so I'll let you know how it goes, just to update you.
Thanks. Yea, even on the "small width layout," I still have to scroll, but not nearly as much as on my side built using my widescreen. And thanks Leupold for the suggestions; I do run down stairs each night and try the site on my 19" and upstairs on the 22" and at work...but never on a 17" running at 800x600. Granted, as time goes on and those old monitors are replaced, it should get better, but I think I'll scale back the resolution a bit when I build, I guess...and will look into the size switcher thing-a-ma-jig. :)
