Peppermint looks sleek! What do you plan to use it for?

I don't know yet. Maybe reviews.

Peppermint is fucking nice. Used it exclusively for like 3 weeks. Didn't work out for me since LXDE is just too lightweight for my tastes.

Love OpenBox though. Wish we could get a good looking DE on top of OpenBox.

Actually, I have a question. How do I change the screen size on it? It is ike... ten times smaller than my screen when I view it. It's like:

----------------------TOP SCREEN---------------------------------------------------------------------


. -------PEPPERMINT---------


.

. ---------PEPPERBOTTOM------


--------BOTTOM--------------


How can I fix this?

Without knowing your montior, graphics hardware, or what resolution you are running in, it's impossible to say. It could also have something to do with you running it in a VM. Play around with the VM graphics settings first, and, if that doesn't work, try to tweak it from inside Peppermint. There should be something called "xrandr" or "RandR" available from the Peppermint menus to detect monitors and video modes and play with resolution. You can just type xrandr from a terminal window to bring it up or play with it in the CLI if you are comfortable with that.
