How To Make Better Use Of Your Screen

What Do You Mean?


In Ubuntu you can change the DPI of your screen, making everything smaller and therefore cramming more information onto one screen, this can really help when trying to get work done on small displays or even make big displays bigger. 

*Note that with certain monitors/laptop screens you will notice a loss in image quality

How Do I Do It?


Open System Settings and click the Displays icon. 


Change the Scale For Menus and Titles Bars from 1 to 0.875 then click Apply. I do not recommend that you go lower than that or it may distort your screen. If you go higher than 1 you will lose space on your screen but everything will be easier to read then normal.


Now you have more working room on your display. If you ever wish to return to stock DPI then change the slider back to 1 and click Apply.
