Window 'hangs' off bottom of screen

Hi All,

On the plus side, last week I converted my laptop from XP to Fedora 15 (GNOME) !

However, I've run into a problem when running Nevernote (which is Qt/Java based, for what it's worth) where the window does not size correctly (I'm running an Acer Aspire One netbook with a 1024x600 display)--too skinny and 'hangs' off the bottom of the screen. I'm guessing the program defaults to a window of something like 800x724. I've tried to move the window with the mouse and arrow keys, but can only pull it up as far as the top panel; same problem when I try resize. (Also no joy when I changed the display settings to 800x600.)

Any ideas about how to get the window to open to the right size???

Thanks,
Peter

Re: Window 'hangs' off bottom of screen

The problem you have is with the "DPI" setting. You need to lower the DPI setting to 96 or 75 (if you have good eye sight) from whatever you have now. However, it is easier said than done in Gnome3. See my post here which might help you.
