help firefox fonts way too big and window not centred - roddyguk - 2010-11-27 hi, im running xbmc live installed to hdd on my revo. everything is working fine accept firefox, which as the title says, fonts are way too big and window is not centred. i installed launcher via the "install from zip" in dharma and installed firefox by just doing "sudo apt-get install firefox" as far as i know i dont have any window mangers installed ive tried settings dpi to various values in xorg.conf as i read in some other posts but with no joy. any help in fixing this would be much appreciated cheers rod... - vikjon0 - 2010-11-27 If you follow a working guide it should be fine. At least of you run it in fluxbox. BTW, I think you should use the executer in dharma. It is included in the repository and pre-installed in live. - vikjon0 - 2010-11-27 Quote:and window is not centred.DPI will not fix that. I guess you have an overscan problem. I dont know how that is fixed in xorg since I have not had it yet. I have a small issue when testing beta4 but I hope a different driver version will put it back to normal. - roddyguk - 2010-11-27 ok cheers il give the fluxbox method a go. also what do you mean by "use the executer in dharma"? cheers - Temar - 2010-11-27 roddyguk Wrote:ok cheers il give the fluxbox method a go. If you don't want to use a window manager, you can always install the "Autohide" firefox extension. This extension adds a new command line option which allows firefox to be started in fullscreen mode. Quote:also what do you mean by "use the executer in dharma"? Executor and Launcher are both plugins to launch external applications. - roddyguk - 2010-11-27 cheers Temar, i just figured out what Executor was. i dont think the autohide extension will fix my problem as it is already fullscreen, its just that everything is way too big (the toolbars take up around 1/3 of the screen!) i will give vikjon0's fluxbox guide a go in a bit and hope that sorts it - Temar - 2010-11-27 roddyguk Wrote:cheers Temar, i just figured out what Executor was. You only have to fix your DPI settings. I don't know about the fluxbox guide, but look out for an explanation how to fix DPI. This will fix your problem with huge fonts and buttons. - roddyguk - 2010-11-27 cheers to both of you for the help. i found an add-on (NoSquint) that resizes websites, so now i can view pages properly. im using all-in-one sidebar to take up the space lost on the left, now i can see the far left of web pages. still have massive toolbar but thats not really a problem as i have removed most of it, i only really wanted a browser on my htpc for StumbleUpon anyways cheers again... |
