Gitk on a netbook
Further to yesterday's post, "Rails on a netbook", i found everything went well except Gitk. The fonts were too big to be useful, and the settings dialog box was too big for me to change it. But look now:
(Yes, that is the MyChores repository, now cloned on to my netbook! Yey!)
I plugged into an external monitor in order to access the settings, but for anyone who does not have that option, i've since found out you can edit ~/.gitk configuration file. My font settings are thus:
set mainfont {helvetica 7}
set textfont {courier 6}
set uifont {helvetica 7 bold}There are also many other settings that you could tweak if you wanted to.
