Hello all. Because I wasn't able to get WPA_supplicant working with 8.04 and my university's wireless uses 802.1x, I finally bit the bullet and installed 10.10 on my laptop and am in the process of transferring everything over to the new partition. All of my programs and themes and such are working flawlessly, except for one thing: everything on the screen is bigger than I'm used to. The menu bars and icons are a bit larger, the toolbars in Firefox and OpenOffice take up more space, and even the solitaire cards in AisleRiot are huge!
It basically looks like I'm running at a lower resolution than normal, but both 8.04 and 10.10 claim to be running in my laptop's native 1680x1050. I've tried messing with the system font size, but that only helps text, not the rest of it. I've tried zooming in and out in programs, but that just makes things look weird, and doesn't work in all programs anyway.
Is there a way to set your resolution higher than the native resolution, or somehow "zoom out" the entire desktop + programs, or do something else to make everything look a bit smaller? Thanks in advance for any help.
