mdemers883 Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 WEll, I went to XFdrake and did some configuring: for graphics card it's showing ATI radeon Monitor: custom Resolution: 1152x864 24bpp I'm not sure if those settings are perfect but I think they are probably right ( I have ATI) here is a screenshot, look how huge gaim is :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemers883 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 hmmmm, I have a ATI 9500 seriers onboard. I"m guessing my plain ol "Radeon" setting XFdrake may not be cutting it. I checked the list further and the closest thing I saw was a 8500 series. I'm not sure if I"m on the right track or not, if I am I have no clue what to do from here :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a13x Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 It looks ok. If you think Gaim is huge, make it smaller :) I use GNOME and I like to have large icons. Big is beautiful :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemers883 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I tried resizing gaim...that's as small as I could crop it :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fissy Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 theres a setting in gaim to make the icons smaller - in preferences uncheck show buddy icons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemers883 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 theres a setting in gaim to make the icons smaller - in preferences uncheck show buddy icons <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That should help that a bit...but it still seems like everything else that has to do with my desktop/windows and such seems bigger than it should be for the resolution I have it set at. I'm not sure if it's because XFdrake is seeing my video as plain ol "radeon" instead of say "radeon 9500" I'm new to this so I'm not full confident in what I'm doing. Any ideas of what I may need to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fissy Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 did you scale it down or is that a screenshot straight from your computer? the shot is at 1024x768, not "Resolution: 1152x864 24bpp" you say. That would make things look bigger. Apart from that, your gnome icons are fairly big, but they're designed that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll mess aroudn with gaim when I get home like you mentioned to see if I can shrink that baby down. Hopefully I'll be able to upgrade gnome tonight as well :D Thanks for all the help so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
