Problem with tiling window managers.

When I am using a tile window manager, no matter which (awesome, xmonad, dwm, wmii, etc, because I have tried them all and I leave them always with the default configuration from the install) I first start an application and it's fine, it's fonts are normal sized. I change the resolution with xrandr -s 1400x1050 (I have a HP 19' widescreen monitor and when I open xmonad it starts with 800x600 resolution). But when I open a second application, it's fonts are terribly huge.

This doesn't happen if I don't change the resolution with xrandr; the second applications fonts remain the same size as the first one.

I don't get it.....why does this happen???? How can I fix it for xmonad?? Please, Help!!!

Thanx in advance!

Re: Problem with tiling window managers.

You need to read about DPI http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DPI
Also learn how to configure your resolution http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … r_Settings

You need to install an RTFM interface.
