I noticed this mostly with the OS icons, but widescreens generally tend to make them extremely pixelated. Is there a way to fix this?
PS how is levono phone support and wlk-in warranty service??

unless you've set resolution outside of native, icons should look good on any screen whether it's 16:10 or 4:3 ratio. what size and resolution is your display, what resolution is it set at, and what OS are you using? knowing that should help us fix your issue.

I have a T60 15.4" widescreen running windows xp pro. my lcd is 1680x1050 (at least that's what the background was set to when I received this). I'm pretty sure this is correct, but i don't know how to check. I've seen a dell widescreen with the same problems, if that means anything.
thanks

Please check your color depth. If it's 16bits (instead of 32) you probably get more pixelated icons...

How do I get that? My 15.4" T61 won't go any higher then 1280x800

You wouldn't if your native resolution is 1280X800 (WXGA).
