Ok, but how are GUI elements drawn? How much better is it exactly? Is it genuine res independence? Do I get the same size picture on every res? I doubt it, but is it close?

It's the same

So there's nothing new? Just the stuff that was in vista?

Is it there? Does it work? What's the story?

I've read that the speed of your HDD as well as the amount of space files take up depends on the way you organize them. What's the best way to do it? Should I place all my ISO files in one folder or create a folder for each? What about avis? Should I create folders for apps, data or just...

Every time someone asks how to partition a hdd a bunch of quacks jump out of the woodwork with ideas based on ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I've found this post on another forum from a guy that seems to have a basis for his suggestion and I have a question regarding it, but since I couldn't register to...

I don't have a budget, but I don't want to spend a lot of money so I want to go for the cheapest option that'll give me smooth working conditions. I'm not from the US so we can't work with a budget since I'll be buying from local vendors. I'd like help with picking a CPU, motherboard, and GPU...

I want to build a new rig for little money to replace my old one. I use my computer for watching TV and record stuff off it using progDVB (this is the most taxing activity, I think), watch movies, listen to music and firefox. In firefox I always have a whole bunch of tabs open for days and a...

I see, so in Vista any application that are written with WPF are drawn independent of the resolution while those that aren't are drawn according to the resolution? Is there no method out there to allow system-wide resolution independent drawing?

It's really interesting when you think about it. I guess they used the same algorithm in subsequent versions of windows as they did in the first one and there was no way that in those primitive times they could have predicted that way of doing it would cause problems. Well, they could have, but...

Of course, I have a setup now where I've created a theme in windows with large fonts and icons, and, in windows, it works fine. I can see the text just as clearly as I would a much smaller text if I was sitting much closer to the screen. In firefox I use the zoom option (ctrl+mousewheel) and...

I have a lenovo L220x and as you may know it's a 22'' with a resolution of 1920*1200 pixels. As you can imagine, it makes for a very sharp image but also a painfuly small one. You can go around this by messing about with the font settings in windows and your web browser or increasing the DPI...

Thanks, fellows!

Thanks! What tools or web pages do you think are the best for it?

Some people say that you benefit from downloading a calibrated profile for your monitor while others say you won't benefit at all. I recently purchased a Lenovo L220X and I was wondering what is the best way to go about calibrating it (professional tools are not an option). From what I've...
