We tried that ... we let it go up to 150% https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641886 .. it caused some problems though see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649411 and then we reverted the change again https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657607 _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
