Hmmm...I didn't know that 720p was a common resolution?  Is this for an LCD or
Plasma?  Is there a theme that would work better for me?  I know that the Blue
theme did *not* look good as the buttons which are supposed to be round were
not.

What do you use?  Jarod's guide suggests KDE mainly due to the fact that Fedora
Core supports it out of the box and I think there were some focus issues with
Gnome.  In fact, at one point, I ran with no window manager (just using xinit)
and also had focus issues.

Thanks for the response!
Brian
