screen resolution in gnome3
I'm using Debin 7 Testing and windows7 in my laptop. Both have screen size of 1366*768. But somehow they are not the same!
It seems that in linux The resolution is not real or dpi is less or something like this. The things are bigger in linux screen. for example: I install Eclipse cdt in both. in The Windows Every thing is perfect: the menu size, icons size, toolbar size. Actually in windows the toolbar fills less than one row. But in Linux the toolbar not fit in one row and some of icon of toolbar appear in another row. The problem is not from debian becuse in Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Mint, PearLinux and Other distros secreen resolution not feels right. and it is not gnome3 specific problem. What is wrong in linux and how can I change the default resolution? |
Hello,
I think you need to look more on the side of the fonts installed, icons (and themes), and such in order to get a better screen experience in Linux. In my opinion it doesn't have much to do with the screen resolution you're using. You can run xrandr from the command line to see what resolutions you can use and if you're effectively using the adequate one for your screen. For some 'eye-candy' for Gnome have a look at http://gnome-look.org/. Kind regards, Eric |

In post #1 you say the resolution is 1366x768 yet in post#3 you are trying a mode for a resolution of 1680x1050. Please clarify which is correct. Also, I suggest you use 'cvt' rather than 'gtf'
