widget size independant to screen resolution

Hello list,

sorry to break radio silence :-), I hope Y wakes up some time soon.

The reason I'm writing is to express my desire for all graphical 
environments. Unfortunately this feature is not fully implemented 
anywhere (to my knowledge) but I'd love to see it in the window server 
of the future ;-).

In a few words what I want is that widget size should be independant to 
screen resolution.
	Actually, by saying widget I mean everything drawn on screen: menus, 
buttons, toolbars, tasbar, window margins, borders, title bars e.t.c., 
even common text.
	And by saying independant to screen resolution I certainly don't expect 
everything to have the same size in every screen at every resolution. 
What I consider fairly easy is drawing everything like now, with default 
size, but giving the user an option using a slider to change the "widget 
size". When changing this variable everything mentioned before should 
change size alltogether.

As for the implementation, the general idea is to multiply the 
dimensions of everything drawn on screen (e.g. font size) with a float 
variable, initially set to 1 and changed with the previous slider. There 
is a problem with the graphics inside widgets, but can be solved either 
using exlusively scalable graphics, or bitmaps properly resized.

The usefulness is obvious to whoever hates giantic widgets (desktops 
like kindergarden :-) ) and is stuck with a low-res TFT.


I see this as an opportunity to creative discussion so please comment on 
my idea while waiting the new Y to erupt...

Thank you,
Dimitris
