Sharp Zaurus SL-C3000 Instruction Manual page 182

my Zaurus SL-C3000 and SL-C3100
Some application can be tailored to a specific window size by editing their config files. Other
applications have the size hardcoded. I have recompiled a few such applications, ie GQView and
AbiWord.
The File Open Dialog is also quite big and this problem is across most GTK2 applications. I have
recompiled GTK2 and hacked the FileChooser to be more suitable for the Zaurus screen. You can
either install my updated GTK2 package or replace libgtk-2.0.so.0.600.2 manually.
pdaXii13 has this fix applied by default and most windows will fit onto the display rather than
extend beyond the physical screen size.
Window Managers
pdaXrom uses openbox as its default window manager because it is lightweight and loads pretty
fast. However, it does not automatically resize applications that are oversized. Suitable alternatives
seem to be icewm and fluxbox which are also included in pdaXii13 full.
