vista sidebar text on widescreen is too small


Recommended Posts

the text on the news feed, weather, ect. is incredibly small and hard to read when it's running in native 1680x1050. turning up the dpi doesn't change things at all on the sidebar. i'm getting around it by running at a lower resolution but i hate doing that cause it makes everything look a little fuzzy...why doesn't changing the dpi affect the sidebar???!!!

anyone else have this problem?

I run at that res and the side bar gadgets are small but readable to me.

I suspect the the gadgets are kind of built around images and that scaling is not possible. For now I think your only option would be to live with it or to drop your screen res.

I would expect that after vista is publicy released that more 3rd party gadgets will be come availalbe along with dev kits. You should be able to find something then.

on my 32'' tv (at 1280x768) the sidebar text is definitely too small
