[geeklog-devel] Geeklog Professional CSS theme

Looking at the top 50 screen sizes I would guess from 9 to 10 % in total are
under 960px. Most of those are mobile phones though with screen sizes like
480x360. The only size that is probably not a phone is 800x600 which came in
at #12 with 1.43%

Tom,

Do you get the total % for screens under 960px?
