Computer Dom3 Community Screen Resolutions

I am working on a map editor in which the user interface is critical. Screen space is a premium and I was wondering:

What is the average minimum desktop resolution for the typical Dominions fanatic?

Keep in mind that the question is what desktop resolution (not what resolution you run Dominions at).

Strange to see 1280x768 as an option, but not 1280x1024.

Desktop: 1280x1024, but I almost never use it.
Notebook: 1024x768 (native resolution)

I think the resolution is not that much of an issue if you can teach your program to scale depending on window size, or have slider controls. Do you have a screenshot for it?

1280x800 for laptop.

1680x1050 for desktop.

More time spent on the laptop recently, but that shifts over time, depending on how busy I am.
