Sizer - change window size to test your website

If you are creating a web page you may wish to know how it looks on different screen sizes. For example, a web page may look different on a 4:3 ratio 1024x768 screen from how it looks on a 16:9 ratio widescreen 1440x900. This is especially important for usability, to see if your page will scroll or if the whole page will be shown.

Also for testing any software it can be useful to see how a window looks at any resolution. See how your buttons and text boxes resize and stretch. You need to check that your software will look right and work for your users.
