Fit the screen for a 10" Netbook as a window:

*# Close

* in Terminal,

*: {{Code|sugar-emulator -i 600x500}} (Fedora 19 and earlier)

*: {{Code|sugar-runner --resolution 600x500}}

Fit full screen size use it all for Sugar:

* in Terminal,

*: {{Code|sugar-emulator -f}}

*: {{Code|sugar-runner}} (defaults to full screen)

*: {{Code|sweets-sugar-emulator -f, --fullscreen }}

Edit the launcher icon file to change the default:

: {{Code|sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/sugar-runner.desktop}}

:: edit the line {{Code|Exec=sugar-runner --resolution 832x624}} for example.

* [[Emulator/Full Screen|How to make a desktop icon that starts Sugar full screen]] {{highlight|bgcolor=yellow|'''Only needed for Fedora 19 and earlier versions.'''}}

Fit emulator to XO display dimensions by modifying the menu definition:

* Use 'Main Menu' utility (alacarte) or edit a separate launcher

* [right click]->[add launcher to desktop]

* right click on icon on desktop

* Properties, Command: {{Code|/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 832x624}} or {{Code|/usr/bin/sugar-runner --resolution 832x624}}

* Close

: Adjust the default window size for Sugar by editing the menu item for Sugar to<br>{{Code|/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 1200x900}} or {{Code|/usr/bin/sugar-runner --resolution 1200x900}}

:: to match the XO reflective screen resolution

: {{Code|/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 832x624}} or {{Code|/usr/bin/sugar-runner --resolution 832x624}}

:: approximates the display proportions of the XO laptops, closely matching the toolbar, for example.

: {{Code|/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 600x500}} or {{Code|/usr/bin/sugar-runner --resolution 600x500}}

:: fits the screen for a 10-inch netbook

: {{Code|/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -f}} {{highlight|bgcolor=yellow|'''Only needed for Fedora 19 and earlier versions.'''}}

:: '''full screen on netbook'''

* Now a smaller Xephyr window will launch

** 832x624 matches the XO display proportions (Pages in Browse will mimic the layout of those on an XO.)
