1-If your DPI isn't accurately set, correct it
2-Enable virtual screen size. In /etc/X11/xorg.conf after the Modes line
for your preferred color depth, create a line such as 'Virtual 1024
2000' to make your virtual desktop 1024px wide by 2000px tall.
3-Raise your resolution to the native resolution of the LCD, unless
that's where it already is.
4-Scroll your taskbar off
