I think a more flexible fashion of setting size would be a good thing. 
The preferred fasion is always being able to do standard resize by 
dragging the edge, but saying x*y size at command line kind of works.

Avoiding the shrinking should be the main thing to do then, in this case 
it hurts more than it helps.

Oh... The oscillator ADEV positions at 2000 s and 5000 s is displaced 
over the 500s and 1000s respectively, 2 digits too much to the left and 
halfway up on the mentioned values, seems like 16 left and 16 up if the 
font is 8 x 8 as you say.

Fullscreen works. Usefull. Dropping shrinking and making size more 
flexible would be beneficial. I haven't checked if the fullscreen 
version has the position bug mentioned above... I will see in the morning.
