Hey good comparison. If you upgraded wordpress you’d get rid of that extra warning line. Also shortened your blog title, it would fit on one line which would free up even more space! Every pixel counts!!

Mike Cane: Good eye. Its probably a difference in how the two different Operating Systems function with Firefox; more specifically, how they display the scroll bars, tool bars, etc.

Look at the screensnaps again. The EeePC is somehow using less pixels at the TOP of the screen when Fox is in full-screen.

The desktop panel (dock) should be similar …
Right-click a blank area, select “configure panel” (or “configure dock” whatever they called it)
Make it vertical, glue to the right or left side of the display where you have a lot (800) pixels;
tweak sizes and other options to taste.

I stuck my website link above – not because it has anything interesting on it, but because the
css is designed for display sizes down-to 320×240 (or smaller).

Well, I was a little bit wrong there …
Right click the Firefox menu bar in a blank area (to right of “help” will do) …
Select “customize”
Checkmark “use small icons”
That should give you a few more pixels.

Firefox uses the window manager’s frame, fonts, icon settings.
There should be some sort of “control center” for all the window manager settings – tweak them.
(say: “thank-you Everex” as you do so, it might help)

Another request, in Firefox, do:
edit -> preferences -> advanced -> encryption -> security devices
Is Firefox using the C7-M hardware crypto engine?

Asus obviously spent more time tweaking the themes for Firefox, OpenOffice, and other applications to make sure they look as good as possible on a small screen. In Firefox, the toolbars and icons are smaller.

But you can also use some Firefox add-ons to get rid of the toolbar altogether in full screen mode, at which point the two screens should look identical.

I prefer the Autohide extension because it’s pretty easy to customize:

But you can also use Fullerscreen:

something to help us with the speed of it like video of opening applications. Thank you

You might want to use the Minifox or Minifox Flat themes, they allow for more screen estate in both windowed and fullscreen modes.
