Hi all

I got a tricky question.
I would like to do a high resolution screenshot of my application
to print on a poster

I google this, and couldn't find a satisfactory answer.

However, their must be a way, since GTK libraries are able to build a GTK application and display it, there must be a way to display it
at a larger resolution, shouldn't it?

Any ideas?

Hi all

I start to find my way:

1/ Using gnome-font-properties
I increase to the maximum font size: 228 dpi
After that, all the text looks huge, but that's good because a screenshot will
capture much more details.

2/ I increase the Icons to the maximum (I think it can goes up to 48x48 pixel)
That way everything looks much bigger

3/ I Do screenshot. But that's where I get stuck:
On my screen, after step 1. and 2. my main windows is larger than my screen and doesn't fit.
Is there anyway I can start my gnome session in a much larger virtual desktop than my screen size?
There must be a way because, for example, If I plug a screen to my laptop, my gnome session will be as large as it can be on the external screen, and thus it is much larger than the screen on my desktop.

Any suggestion welcomed :)
