Thanks for your reply, John.
Is increasing my screen res the only solution?
My "aging" eyes are already straining at some of X1's icons at present :)
Unfortunately that is the trend these days. X1/X2 are meant to be run on a hi res display.
If you find it too hard to see some things with a higher res screen try using the windows magnifier it can be very useful.
Now I hate to add this but a much bigger screen might help. Though a 20 " CRT is big in my book.
I am on dual LCD wide displays of 22 " that do a great job for me. Those are as big as I can handle on my desk.
