- You can maximise the screen display by using with Ken Barbalace's Classic Compact theme.
- If you then right click on the menu bar at the top of the browser and untick 'Bookmarks Toolbar' you will add a bit more vertical space.
- You can save even more vertical space by using small icons. This is achieved by right mouse clicking on menu bar and select "customize" or go to "View": "Toolbars": "Customize" then check the "use small icons" option.
Netbook Applications
What great free applications out there do you recommend running on a netbook?
The Sammy Netbook community has put together a list of our favourite applications here.
Can the Samsung Netbooks run MS Office 2007?
Yes, community forum members have reported that typing out docs in Word or Spreadsheets in Excel works just fine on models such as the NC10 and the NC20.
Do you know a small application that can display the status of the Num, Caps and Scroll Lock buttons on screen?
How about this one.
My application runs with a resolution not supported by my netbook screen?
Try this suggestion for using unsupported screen resolutions on your netbook. This can help run applications such as Adobe Photoshop even though it requires a greater horizontal screen resolution than Netbooks such as the NC10 can provide.
I need a good office suite, what can you suggest?
If you are unwilling to pay out for the Microsoft Office suite, or simply don't think it is worth the money, there are plenty of other alternatives out there. Open Office is one of the leading free office suites on the market. A forum thread details other options.
