Petra, things are not as they used to be (IIRC :).  Damn modern 
"short-screen" laptops with the same pixels as a smartphone...

Mark:

Also note that the icons for the functions are customisable
Edit -> Preferences -> Refinement toolbar
Then click off some functions until it fits

The font size is under control of the theme manager - that is to say 
that the font (size) is the same as that of other gnome/gtk applications.

Regards,

Paul.
