    Example?

    I'm guessing its just the design of the page you are looking at. Some developers do that.

    Bingo. Higher resolutions on sites with set metrics in the design (using values like 50px instead of 50%) will result in the page seeming smaller.

    Lower the resolution, or learn to put up with it are your only options that I'm aware of, I'm afraid.

    No its the screen resolution. Change it back to what you were using before. Do it through the control panel/display/settings.

    He could run a custom stylesheet in his browser, but I really don't see much point, it'd probably bork 9 sites out of 10.
