@Vault13 can you right click and go "View > " (insert any option here)?  That might work... or try holding control and scroll the mouse wheel.

wow that is actually amazingly cool! xD @AluminiumTech you know Windows... any ideas?

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
