Re: how shrink entire GUI?

Thanks! Can I assume that changing font size is likely
easiest and most powerful way to change size of
entire gui?? It would make sense since many widgets
are resized to fit in their hbox/vbox and the only
constraint is the font size I think.

Your rc file trick just changed font right? Why
didn't you set a graphics context to have font
size you wanted?
