I tried commands: $ import -window root tempfile.png $ file tempfile.png tempfile.png: PNG image data, 1024 x 768, 16-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced $ So my resolution is 1024 x 768. I have changed Icon view in Nautilus to 50%. I have changed desktop and windows font to 8. Now it looks bether, but still opened windows (e.g. Skype) are quite big. Do you know where can i make them smaller? Thanks for help. Dexter
