Re: gnome resolution
I tried commands:
$ import -window root tempfile.png
$ file tempfile.png
tempfile.png: PNG image data, 1024 x 768, 16-bit/color RGB,
non-interlaced
$
So my resolution is 1024 x 768.
I have changed Icon view in Nautilus to 50%. I have changed desktop and
windows font to 8.
Now it looks bether, but still opened windows (e.g. Skype) are quite
big. Do you know where can i make them smaller?
Thanks for help.
