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.
