I'm sure that everyone on these lists (except me) knew about this long ago but just in case, I thought I should post this to remind those who didn't know or had forgotten about it after a system re-install.
The factory settings for your iMac screen give you TWO black squares around your viewable area: a pitch black outer one that you can't do anything about and a black/grey inner one that you can increase your viewable area to cover. The setting to address this is in the "Monitors and Sounds" control panel and when you get there you need to click on the "Geometry" icon at the upper right of the panel. After that, play around with the "Height/Width" and "Position" buttons until you have maximized your screen. It doesn't stretch the images, you just get a larger viewable area. I'm really embarrassed that I didn't do this a long, long time ago. Hope this helps someone! ciao! -- Matthew D.
