    I was googling for some info on how to make program windows bigger, but I couldn't find anything else except use magnifier or set font to Larger 150 %. But i like Medium 125 % font and i just want to make text readable on Skype and Aimp2 1920 x 1080 resolution, everything else is fine but some program windows are just too small. What can i do?

    well, my Studio came with a 1920x1080 display because on my old compaq the resolution was to big, lol now the studio is to small.. but you get used to it, one thing i did was right click and enter catalyst control center and change the resolution to something bigger, when i did this it centered my screen. So you have to go to displays right click on your display and click configure and choose the full screen option.

    The short answer is not much. You can change the resolution to something else, like 1366x768, but that will make the screen fuzzy/blurry because it is trying to display one pixel over many pixels on the screen.

    He has already done that and it helped but didnt resolve the problem. I would suggest the only "real" solution to this problem is a lower screen and thats just not an easy or perfect solution either..
