    greetings
    This is probably a real lame question but..... I have an inspiron 6000 with the 1680x1050 screen, and the system tray icons are 'orrible: They look like something from a sinclair spectrum, and that's showing my age :(

    How can i get them looking reasonable?

    I get the same effect on some web page graphics - is there a way to smooth these?

    Thanks for any help

    Pete

    make sure you're running at the native resolution and set your dpi to 96
