Hi all,

I am looking at getting a desktop set up with the intention of eventually using it with a tablet PC. I'm looking at GTK tweaks at the moment to make Ubuntu more finger friendly. I have found one tweak which widened the scrollbars to make them easier to hit with fingers.

I have heard about a GTK tweak called gtk-touchscreen-mode, but I have no idea how to activate it or what it does - does anyone else know? And what would I put in my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file to make menu items taller and checkboxes, combobuttons, etc. larger to make them easier targets for fingers?

you could try raising the dpi in appearance > fonts> advanced
that should increase the size of most things.
