About this. There is (and was in the last release) a HDPI theme, but sadly I don't like it (not enough contrast between active and inactivve windows). It's not a biggie, as you can download more HDPI themes from the internetz. I did find a window scaling option (settings->appearance->settings), which sadly doesn't scale the border, and the fonts only scale on GTK (and maybe QT) apps by the look of it. For example, the font in an xterm is teensy with window scaling. I guess I'll stick with a custom DPI (settings->appearance->fonts) and the 2x hack for firefox (about:config then search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx, set to 2). Settings->display doesn't seem to work: ---8<--- fremen:edd> xfce4-display-settings xfce4-display-settings(68635) in free(): bogus pointer (double free?) 0xdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdf zsh: abort (core dumped) xfce4-display-settings --->8--- -- Best Regards Edd Barrett http://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
