It is best to set the resolution size and icon of the screen up

It is best to set the maximum screen resolution before attempting to adjust the size of icons and text on the desktop, notification area, Quick Launch bar and start menu? I know that the icons can be made to the largest and by choosing a lower screen resolution but y at - it a benefit to have the maximum resolution? My view is not too good and I need icons and text to be big enough.

Hello

The screen, or the screen resolution, resolution refers to the size of the whole image displayed on your computer screen. Specifically, he refers the number of picture elements, or pixels, which are displayed at the same time. A pixel is the smallest element on your computer screen, the more pixels, the more detailed the picture will be. With fewer pixels, display items will be larger, but there will be less space on the desktop for windows and the programs to run.

  • How do I set the screen window size in a guest LinuxMint17 (WS7)?

    I am always on WorkStation 7 (last revision) because I discovered that after installing the update I bought I would be able to use 7 and I need that for some of my virtual machines...

    Anyway, now I need to test some features of Web server and need a KDE LinuxMint17 machine for this.

    Installation went well and I also installed the virtual machine; Tools of dishes without problem.

    As part of the installation, I put the size of the screen for the guest to 1024 x 768 in the properties of the VM.

    Then I could install the basic software that I need the terminal of the virtual machine.

    But it turns out that this screen is too small for the webbrowser, I need to run inside the guest, so I stopped and then replaced by the properties of the vm to display 1280 x 1024.

    The strange thing is that the guest does not adjust when I start again, it always appears in the size 1024 x 768.

    So I'm looking for help set the size of the screen correctly in the comments of LinuxMint17...

    Is it possible to make the largest screen in Linux?

    I looked at the System_Settings/Display_And_Monitor inside the guest, but I do not get a way to resize it.

    Or maybe there is way to allow resizing screen in VMWare Workstation settings for the prompt instead?

    Note that I have running in a window rather than the full screen because I use it as a test machine for stuff that happens in Windows...

    I tried Googling for Linux screen size settings but came empty-handed, suggestions addressed the other issues...

    I do not use Linux Mint but on other Linux Distros, I use the xrandr from a Terminal command to set the resolution of the screen when it is not available from the GUI.

    Execution of xrandr by itself will be out the available resolutions then, for example, use: xrandr-s 1024 x 768

    Hello

    Are you sure that the graphics card supports this high resolution!
    If all goes well it s not a material limitation

    But especially if the display resolution is not available the graphics card driver does not support this resolution of the screen.
    In this case only the new driver installation and usage help

    What graphics card is installed on your laptop? Graphic chip Intel?
    If you use an Intel graphics card, then I recommend to visit the Intel page and search for a compatible driver on this page. Some users here in the forum said that the Intel drivers could help choose the preferred resolution.

  • How to set the screen resolution to fit monitor

    original title: monitor

    I have a large screen, but it seems as if it was a waste of money because I don't get to use the middle of the screen. Can someone tell me please how to get full use out of my monitor? do I need some sort of version beta or something?

    Your description is not very clear, are the main steps to configure your display:

    -Make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card & monitor installed Windows 7 .

    -Search in the manual of your monitor and find out what the native resolution & refresh rate are for example (1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz), then go to:

    Start-> Control Panel-> display

    and together that view you these settings.

    -If you have black borders around your screen, you should increase the size of your screen through the software installed normally with your graphics card. For a basic card ATI look for a feature called overscan/underscan. Look for the option to increase the size of the desktop in the nVidia Control Panel for nVidia cards. For othe graphics cards check support manual/website for advice.

    Hi Robin,

    What e-mail program you are using (name and version)? Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, Outlook, a program that you access through your browser (and if yes, what name and version of the browser?) something else (and what version and/or year of this product)?

    What Version of Vista you are using (for example, 32-bit Vista Home Premium SP2 or other)?

    P.S. I am pretty sure that the procedure is simple and can be done-, but it varies depending on whether you use, so I want to provide the information that is applicable to you.

  • How to set the screen resolution?

    Original title: on screen display with the unused space on the sides

    It is probably so basic, but my display is not full screen, even if I put it in full screen. There is an inch of space black unused screen on each side of the screen. What should I do?  Thanks in advance

    Hello

    You're probably not using the correct resolution, IE: you use a display standard aspect ratio when you have a widescreen monitor. This can be corrected in the settings/personalize/display of the Control Panel, adjust the slider to resolution here.

  • Cannot bar resolution move to set the screen resolution

    I just installed vista and everything was huge! I went screen resolution under Customize and there is no other options on the scroll bar expect I am the one on which is 640 X 480 at an average of 16-bit color, I tried to update the drivers for the card and the screen but its still the same, I also reinstalled vista but its still the same HELP!

    Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    If there is no graphics Vista drivers available for your model, nothing can be done about it.

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    See you soon.

  • Monitor may not turn off after setting the screen turns off after a period of inactivity

    Original title: control screen does not turn off

    My cell phone 6 year old runs today to Win XP Pro and IE7 and Firefox. My screen has been set to turn off after 15 minutes, but these days he keeps any. It stays ON all day.

    Attempted to solve by setting to turn off in 10 minutes, but it makes no difference, what could be the problem?

    TIA

    First of all, you don't want to do the hardware updates through the Microsoft Update Website.

    Secondly, there are a couple ways you can do this:

    1. go in the Device Manager (start > Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > Device Manager).    tedious, but this way you are sure.

    Double-click each item, having developed each sign, select the driver tab and choose Update driver, let windows search automatically, make sure that you are connected to the internet.  Do this for each item that you want to search for updated drivers.

    2. go in the manufacturer's website. For example, I use a Dell Dimension and move the driver Dell downloads Web site.

    If you mean hardware upgrade from Microsoft (not Windows which is software) you would search Microsoft.com site for driver downloads.

    Hope this helps, after back with your results, please.

  • Cannot set the screen stretched after playing game. HP Pavilion dv6000 Notebook.

    Hello

    Once a game my screen stayed tight, horizontally lying. Normally my screen is returned to normal after closing the game Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, but this time it somehow stuck or something. I checked the resolution: it's 1024 x 768 like it always was, so this isn't the problem. When I "Print screen", the image is quite normal on the other computers, so I think it may be the driver? Do I have to download Driver NVIDIA? I tried, but he says that the driver is not compatible with my hardware. I think I can find one that is compatible, but first I would like to know if this will fix my problem.

    Thank you

    I had a contact with HP customer service, and I tried many things. Restart the pc, download the drivers, nothing seems to work. The guy said I had to reinstall windows, and the screen was fine still... Here, there was a simpeler for this solution, but I'm glad that my screen is normal now.

  • Setting the screen to get started on the applications rather than the Office of startup screen

    I have a HP Pavilion 23 and run Windows 8. Recently my pc has been commissioning on the desktop instead of starting up on the screen to start applications. How can I configure my pc so that when I turn on it goes to the start of applications screen and not desktop screen?

    Denver1003, welcome to the forum.

    You can go into control panel / taskbar and Navigation / Navigation / start screen / uncheck the first element ' when I connect or close all applications on a screen, go to desktop instead of the start.»  When it is disabled, the computer should start to the start of Metro (Apps) screen.
