My icons/fonts are large (as in low resolution)
My screen is bigger than my resolution is low, even if I do not change the settings. I believe you can also achieve this effect even when the computer is started in safe mode. Where everything is enlarged. I change all the settings, this happened to me I connect in my user on my laptop (vista home prem 64 bit). I tried to change the resolution, which does not help, it's a whole little bit better, but it still doesn't look good. I don't know what went wrong or how to fix 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.

Why blackBerry Smartphones are my photos in low resolution?
I just took 47 pictures in a skating event, all but one of the pictues of is released about 350 KB and only amounts to 3 MB (in the middle of the roll). No change or the options of all kinds have been adjusted. The unit is set for big (2592 x 1944). A Blackberry Bold 9780. It's driving me crazy! Help!

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. How can I change the color of the font describing the desktop icons?
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. How can I change the color of the font describing the desktop icons?
Hello
You cannot change the font color of desktop.
Because desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is easy for the colors of unreadable fonts if they are on top of the same color in a background image to display. For example, a black font on top a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.
The desktop icon fonts are dynamic and show white on dark background and change in white with a shadow effect black on a light background.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Windows 7

iCloud photo library: very low resolution (sometimes!)
When my iphone 6 more pics are automatically transferred to iCloud photo library, why some of the photos are uploaded as fuzzy (low resolution) and others are downloaded in high resolution?
How you view photos that have been uploaded from the iPhone? In the www.icloud.com or the Photos.app on your Mac?
On your Mac, you can see the blurry pictures, until the photos have been uploaded completely icloud.
Did you put the pictures > iCloud preferences "Original download this Mac" or you use 'optimize Mac Storage. " With the option "Optimize Mac Storage" active, version full resolution will download only from iCloud, when you double-click on the picture to open it. Until you do this, the tile can be blurred.

my desktop icons are larger than normal, how can I make the smaller
Right click on the desktop and click on views and there should be three options for selecting the size of the icons. If they are too big, choose one of the smaller options and see if it suits you better.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

In Windows 7, icons in the system tray / notification look area low resolution
Here's a screenshot of my notification area / system tray (whatever it's called now) flying:
As you can see, for some programs look systray icons very low resolution and just plain bad.I have reviewed the icon for the executable file of these programs and has determined that all of the resolutions of the icon is available (256 x 256, 48 x 48, 32 x 32, 24 x 24, 16 x 16).I tried to correct the problem by placing a custom in the program directory file app.ico.Nothing seems to work.The resolution of my monitor is correctly defined in the display settings.I talked to other users of W7 using the same programs and they report that the icons look very well for them.
I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate on a Lenovo T60 with a 'landscape' theme Windows applied (IE no programs custom theme or something like that).As a result of this issue, maybe someone could tell me what use the resolution of the Windows icon in the system tray?Thank youin fact you don't have to restore your system, because maybe you have already lived a few weeks with the problem.
It worked smoothly for me.-load a default theme-check the advanced appearance settings-compare the number of dimensions of each element with the decimal version of the 'size' onHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Appearance\New Schemes\Current SaveAll\Sizes\0 settings-There should be two numbers that do not match (for me were 21 on dialog appearance and 23 in the registry, twice).-Double-click on the registry value and write what you have on the dialog edit the data type decimal.-Repeat for the other incompatibilities-close the registry-Start the Task Manager-complete the process explorer.exe (Don't panic)-menu file, new task run explorer.exe-Close Task Manager-smileGod bless you -
Why are some of my low quality/pixelated and high quality desktop icons in other places
Hi, some of my icons on the desktop from my laptop (for example google chrome) are all grainy and low quality; However, in places like the taskbar and startmenu, they are fine. My connection icon is also very low quality if it gives advice to the cause. I have the same exact programs installed on my desktop (on windows 7) and I did not have this problem. Any ideas as to what is happening? Here is an image that can make it more clear about what I'm asking:
Right-click on an empty area of the desktop, choose View > small icons.
This only happens with icons that were not designed to be scale-able. They are extended only slightly, causing artifacts as we see. Microsoft has released the guidelines for the creation of an icon in their 'Style Guide of the user experience' a few years ago, but some software manufacturers understand that the sizes of icons "legacy", including max 32 x 32 I think.If it was useful, you can vote by clicking on the green triangle. If it solves the problem, click on propose as answer. Thank you!
