Precicely. I don't really see what the problem is - a 64x64 icon is still 64x64 even if the monitor's aspect ratio is different. I spent a lot of time trying to work out why fonts looked rubbish once and it was because I'd inadvertently set the resolution to 1280x960 instead of 1280x1024 - my TFT doesn't handle non-native resolutions so well. Having 1280x1024 also means that if you have a large window (such as a terminal server client or VNC client) you can have it at 1280x960 and still have room for some window manager stuff - a toolbar or decorations etc. -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
