Andre, Thanks for responding. If I set the dpi to 75, then it'll effect X as a whole, meaning all my applications in graphical mode will be set this way. When I was first starting out, that's what I used and I quickly realized that with my 17'' LCD, 100dpi was a better solution. On the other hand, some did mention that the fonts in graphical themes are builtin. They just seem to be too big for my taste. bp > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
