Can you scale it the other way? > It's GNOME itself that's off. It's just big! It's tidy, but fat. You don't have to use it, I don't. I don't like it for various reasons. Too CPU intensive (I don't have a fancy graphics card). The removal of an organised menu to a disorganised array of several screens of icons. Trying to add a menu gave me a hideous alternative to the simple structured menu Gnome used to have (and Mate still does). FFS, why do modern GUI systems think that opening a menu should occupy 3/4 of the damn screen, filled with disorganised and continually changing contents, and having to drill down through bogus crap instead of just about one sub-menu and just rolling the mouse in and around?! The desktop is not a touchscreen, stop trying to use a touchscreen style interface on all computers. Icons, icons, icons! I can't find a damn thing by icons. The pictures are a very poor clue. I might remember one or two of highly regular use, but most mean nothing to me, and if they're in a different place than last time, I have to go hunting for it. My Android phone and tablet, which these kinds of interfaces are meant for, are a pain to use when you have lots of applications. I watch friends scroll through multiple screenfulls trying to find what they're after. Mine's organised, one screen with categorised folders in it, and appropriate programs inside that. Far too much effort is spent on making a desktop look like a work of art at the expensive of it being a computer that you use. I don't even see the desktop, it's covered by the stuff I'm actually doing. I actually like taskbars. I can put status info I want to keep an eye on in them, I can remove crap that I don't care about. They're thin, and on the edges of the screen. I can easily switch between the half dozen apps I've got running simultaneously. Whacking great big squares of apps on the desktop are next to useless (they're behind other things). I really do get sick of the re-inventing of the wheel in computing. Convenient things get taken away, and what was instantly doable becomes a six-step illogical procedure. -- NB: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
