BBO's main screen is 640x480 and it is brilliantly designed to include everything except the movie viewing. The one major drawback is that there are a number of areas (reading an article, waiting in the tournament area for the start of a tourney, etc.) where there is no chat area and the chat bubbles that replace them sometimes get in the way.

As mentioned in another thread, I would like to suggest a new option, a separate, user-resizable chat winodw which would replace the chat bubbles, as a non-default option.

I would guess that most of us would have the screen space for it without much trouble, but even people at 640x480 could switch between the main BBO window and a chat window when necessary. The great advantage would be that you would be able to review the chat when convenient instead of clicking away the chat bubbles and perhaps missing something important.
