I doubt it because they would provide some way to change that if there was.

I don't like the price of those for such a small increase in screen
real estate, I prefer to have multiple 24" screens instead and
end up with a lot  more screen area for the same price.

I don't like using screens like that. MUCH too far for the eyes to move IMO.

Don't agree with that either with the 4 screens with just a pic on
them that I prefer to fill the screen and so need to zoom those.

Sure, but that's why I have the default zoom as 200% on the other screens
that make up a hell of a lot more than the 6 screens that are loaded by that
particular script. I have a vastly more other screens that I also have open
all the time. Those other ones don't need anything other than the 200%

Likely because you have the screen so close to your face.

I only have a few that arent.

Its got nothing to do with a desert, almost everywhere
does have the chance of rain vary from day to day.

I wouldn't live in a place that doesn't personally.

Yep.

Sometimes. We just had 100mm in about 10 hours, but that's unusual.
