It seems to me that KDE uses larger fonts than Windows, at least by default. 1600x1200 is comfortable for me; I previously used two 1280x1024 screens and they felt cramped. Multiple desktops are actually more practical than two large screens, both for desk space and neck movement.
Using the KDE control center how do I scale everything down a bit, but keep everything looking in perspective.
I have tried messing around with icon and font sizes but it just makes everything look out of proportion. Is the native size of these things determined by the theme.
Currently it seems icon size can be set both on its own and by the theme. I think this has been addressed in 3.3
I guess I am looking for a resolution independent desktop size slider, one that keeps the ratios between icons,fonts, window borders and toolbars intact.
Is this a KDE thing, A SuSE thing or just a thing
It's a KDE thing.
In my mind 1280x1024 should not feel cramped, and I'm pretty sure it didn't used to. I would love to run at 1600x1200 but I can't afford the TFT screen required to do so and have little space for a 19" CRT.
I can only wonder how cramped things must feel for those running on (what I imagine) the most common desktop resolution of 1024x768
I do just that with no problems. I have icons set to 32bits size and I use mainly 11 point fonts. Looks fine.
