Jaxon wrote me via Google Talk:

Hey Cody, I have another question for you. I’m currently using Bodhi and trying to fully convert to it from Mint. One thing I’m noticing is the imaging quality on Bodhi. Everything seems to be blurry and fuzzy. For example, the window borders are a bit blurred. Also, text and images on web pages is blurry. Any idea why this might be? Or some kind of solution for improving sharpness? I’ve looked at screen resolution and it’s 1280×800 as usual.

Thanks!
