Openbox window size is huge after installing Nvidia drivers

Hello all,

Yesterday I installed the Nvidia drivers to get hardware acceleration support for my HP Mini 311, which is powered by the Nvidia Ion GPU. The driver install went swell (I used the guide on the arch wiki), but when I restarted my computer, the size of the windows were huge with extremely large font. Applications like urxvt are still the same size. Also notice how my conky/dzen2 configuration and tint2 configuration are small as before. I tried searching various forums for the solution but I have found nothing. Here is a screenshot to display how large the windows actually are on my 1366x768 screen- http://i.imgur.com/4FL6S.png

Thank you all in advance.

It is strange that the windows aren't resized automatically;
with User Preference Settings (lxappearance) and pref, openbox conf, gui config tool (obconf) you can check and reset your font size.
That should do the trick; the large size seems limited to windows that are managed by openbox, so the config error should be there.

I already tried that. No luck, the windows are still huge

Could this be a permission error that the user rights aren't well defined?
Or even the user not well installed?
Check the permissions of your /home/.config folder.
Or try resizing as root.
