The screenshots in the pdaXrom site don\'t do justice to the Mozilla apps. Here\'s some things you can do to improve them.
* change the toolbars: View/Toolbars/Customize...
- drag the google search off the toolbar to get a bigger url entry area
- set the toolar to use Icons and tick \'Small Icons\'
- disable the bookmarks toolbar for an extra line of webpage
* Change the options: Tools/Options...
- Fonts, choose smaller ones like Proportional size 12, Bitstream Vera Serif/Sans/Sans Mono size 10, minimum font size none
* low level stuff: change the menu and dialog font sizes:
- edit /home/root/.phoenix/default/*/chrome/userChrome.css
menupopup ] * {
font-size: 12pt !important
}
and so on. (basically uncomment parts of the example file that is provided and rename to userChrome.css). I found that a 12pt size was suitable for me.
For thunderbird, do pretty much the same with the .thunderbird directory.
* for thunderbird turn off Junk mail controls because they will force a read of every message to see if it\'s junk! Not wise if you are on GPRS.

Yes You right. After your tweaking it is much more usable. But still the main drawback is the size of whole distribution - so many Mb for just browser and mail. I am using firefox - fork of mozzila and sylphed for mail. And I am very happy. For quick browser I have dillo.

man... if dillo would just get a clue and make tables work... it would be so amazing.

I found the magic words to fix the overly large thunderbird fonts:
In the userChrome.css file add:
.tree-rows {
font-size: 10pt !important;
}
Also as a general rule you can use DOMinspector on a desktop Mozilla to find the names of GUI parts so you can control their appearance. Please report any further improvements especially with the dialogs...
