        Wow, I'm really behind in reading your unblog. Just a note, if you have to use Windows again. If you right-click the taskbar, you can unlock it and then move it to the right or left (and then lock it again if you like). The first thing I always do in Windows is move the taskbar to the right (which seems easier to me than the left).

            Hi Steve, that's not what I want. I want it VERTICALLY on the left, so that it doesn't consume precious pixel rows. Like this image: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/addy-dclxvi/tint2-theme-collections/master/preview-launchy.jpg

              You were right about the .Xresources file. Putting the dpi scaling setting in there does mostly fix openbox for me. Most things are readable now without having to change resolution with xrandr. My monitor's max supported resolution is 3200x1800. But a quick question, how did you come up with the value of 192? It just seems like an arbitrary #, what's the reasoning behind choosing that value?

                  Hi, the original 1920x1200 screen has 96 dpi, so the 3840 x 2400 screen of the same physical size has 2x96=192dpi. Run xdpyinfo | grep resolution to find your monitor's resolution.
