You probably have a resolution that is way out of whack. Go to:

System>Administration>Hardware Drivers

There should be a proprietary driver, either ATI or Nvidia, depending on your hardware. Alternatively, you can go to the Synaptics Package Manager and install EnvyNG. This is an application which will detect your hardware and install the proper driver. When you reboot, it should automatically configure the correct resolution. You can also run:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

This should sort it out for you.

ok title bars are back to a normal size however the login screen is still typing in a font that is WAY to large for the window. any ideas on that part?

How did you resolve the desktop? If you installed EnvyNG, it would have automatically reconfigured your xorg.conf file for the correct resolutions. However, look in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for an entry that looks similar to this:

You file may look different in that it may have a list of available resolutions. At boot up, the login screen reads the first resolution in the list and uses that. Check to see what it is set to and change it to the same resolution as your desktop. Make a backup of this file BEFORE you change anything. If you mess anything up, X will not start, so you would have to use the backup file by renaming it back to xorg.conf.

I reconfigured the drivers and suddenly the titlebars were back to normal so I logged out and tried to log back in but the text is still huge everything else works just fine
