The XO is a 1200x900 screen, about a year or two back there was general consensus that we should try and make sure Activities worked well down too 1024x768 as that was common in emulated environments and regular laptops/desktops.<br> <br> These 800x600 display machines will want to make sure they are running Sugar using an environmental variable of SUGAR_SCALING=72, this will shrink the UI scale down to fit the lower screen resolution. SUGAR_SCALING currently only has an effect at either 72 (works well for 800x600 and 1024x768) or 100 (for 1200x900 or larger).<br> </blockquote><div><br>With SUGAR_SCALING=72 Sugar have some problems showing properties of a journal entry for example. I trying to set lower values of SUGAR_SCALING but I have not getting good results.<br><br>Regards,<br> Esteban.<br><br></div></div><br> <br>_______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
