Re: Checklists

800x600 is the smallest officially supported resolution for kde. Sorry.

Note that we are not against making kde work on your TV, but it is not a supported platform. All we can do is provide scrollbars, which are ugly and hard to use (in this context). Since this is not a supported platform, you will have to do a lot of work yourself.

However my general feeling (and I suspect many people share this) is that 800x600 is as small as you can get and still get any advantage from a general purpose windowing system. If you need to go smaller adds are you don't want a general purpose system anyway, instead you are looking for a specific purpose that useally doesn't involve much input. (watch movies, play games, or some such) In any case, you are going to have to run everything full screen anyway, so why not work with applications designed for that environment.
