--- Comment #2 from pb <[email protected]> ---
The big red X that appears in the menu bar when I start typing into a cell is
about 3.5 x 3.5 mm on my screen, about 18x18 pixels.  It is huge.  I don't
think I need to adjust my dpi settings.  I do, however, think that the 1 x 1 mm
asterisk that denotes that a document needs to be saved deserves a size at
least as big as that big red X for cancelling an entry, something that pretty
much anyone would guess could be done by hitting the ESC key.  (Granted,
perhaps that big red X is useful if you don't know you entered something, e.g.
by accident when you thought something else had focus.)

One might also ask why the big red X for cancelling an entry is in the menu
bar, while the tiny red asterisk for saving the document (or at least reminding
the eagle-eyed user to do so) is in the status bar.  That seems inconsistent.

BTW, the dot pitch of the monitor in question is 0.27 /mm, which implies a dpi
of about 94 dpi.  The Windows dpi is set at 100% for what the OS correctly
believes that monitor to be, which it calls 96 dpi.  This yields good results
for almost all applications.  (BTW, my claims of size of stuff on the screen
are from direct measurement with a ruler so are approximate.  One could make
them more exact with the value of about 1/0.27 = 3.7 dots per mm, though it
gets tricky depending on dot layout.)
