Wow, is it really worse than win7?jube wrote:The DPI issue is tought but its part of a bigger problem, there are 5 different config systems at work, dconf,gconf,gsettings,xconf,and cinnamon-settings-deamon, the obvious answer is to harmonise the packages to use 1 system, i have my eyes on this
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Elektra/ which promisses similar performance to windows registry and much more important promisses a stable API.
But DPI is first and there is a fair amount of code work there, but i think its essential, any linux desktop needs to put the same sort of information density onscreen as win7
Looking at chunky post-war russian fonts and icons is not the way to go
I've been trying to find a way to improve the shitty DPI I get in Win, but it seems the only two choices are large and larger ...
X ftw.
So the problem you are describing is just "settings layer" issue and is purely related to the infrastructure required to draw the box and checkbox and spin control widgets to set the setting by clickety-clicking?
Because I just put
Code: Select all
Option "UseEdidDpi" "False"
Option "DPI" "81 x 81"
In any DE or WM.
