DSL boots with very small fonts and icons by default on most applications.
How can one make these bigger?

i tried desktop config menus but could not get it to work.

A simple icon which allows this magnification/change in resolution will help greatly.

Thank you

To change the resolution, open up the DSL Control Panel and click the Xvesa button to open up the appropriate utility.

As for fonts, the biggest we have is 75dpi, which I think is used by default.

How high of resolution are we talking about? At 1024x768 they are pllenty big. Even at 1600x1200 it's not too bad O_o.

EDITUS: Read the topic name, JP!!

You may have to lower the resolution to something like 800x600 to get anywhere near the sizes you are wanting. Other than that, I have no clue.
