One thing Gnome seems to do heaps better than KDE is under the Desktop/Preferences/Font/Details you can select the font DPI to use. The only issue is it would still leave some of the fonts a bit small as it only goes to about 150dpi. That said, you could also increase the pixel size of the panels and the icons. <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">Kind Regards Russ <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.windsorcycles.com.au">www.windsorcycles.com.au</a> </pre> Luke Yelavich wrote: <blockquote cite="mid20050205223410.GA3736@localhost.localdomain" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On Sun, Feb 06, 2005 at 09:16:56AM EST, Matt Zimmerman wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On Sun, Feb 06, 2005 at 08:16:58AM +1100, Luke Yelavich wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">A couple of things regarding the live CD. 1. I think it would be a good idea that if a monitor is detected that supports high resolutions, a resolution should be chosen that most people can read. My 21 inch monitor supports up to 2048x1536 which IMO is an outrageous resolution, as everything is so small. I think a more sane resolution is no more than 1600x1200 at the most. If people don't like the resolution, they can then change it and be able to read what they are changing it to. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">Ideally, the fonts and graphics used for the desktop should scale to a reasonable size.

Will have a read of the bug and keep that command in mind. Luke </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
