unreadable messages

some programs produce almost unreadable messages due to the high screen density.

I do not have this problem (on Ubuntu GNOME). I set Fonts Scaling Factor to 1.25 in GNOME Tweak Tool and i believe it adjusted the font size everywhere, except for web pages in Firefox. For Firefox i installed NoSquint Plus plugin and it solved the problem.

Note also that not all GNOME settings can be edited through GNOME Tweak Tool, but you can modify them using dconf Editor (a GUI application) or with dconf command from the command line.

For example, in GNOME, window close-minimize-maximize buttons are on the right, like in Windows. To have them on the left, like in Mac OS, it is enough to do

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/button-layout "'close,minimize,maximize:appmenu'"

To reset to the default position:

dconf reset /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/button-layout
