Alot of this has to do with "widget size" - which is dependent on font
size. If you use, say, fonts of weight 10, a screen size of say
1024x768, everything should fit comfortably on your display (should -
SHOULD). Experimenting with font sizes and screen resolutions is the way
to find your happy medium.
I personally can't live in a world less than 1600x1200 - but then again,
I've got a huge monitor...
