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.
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
I *think* it's a KDE thing (or possibly just a thing). I run Fedora at work and it's much the same. At home I've scaled down the sizes quite successfully; using Windows fonts such as Arial helps a lot as they seem better designed than the native Linux ones. Thanks to Apple and Microsoft for once. But I agree that an overall scaler would be mighty useful.
I can only wonder how cramped things must feel for those running on (what I imagine) the most common desktop resolution of 1024x768
In 1990 I was still using a 9" Mac SE/30 for programming. At that time, VGA seemed a huge amount of real-estate. Are we spoilt or what?
