That's where you change stuff - Display, Settings. Also, Display,
Appearance.

You need to select a screen resolution that has the same length to width
ratio as 1680:1050. An easy way to do that is divide one number into the
other. For example, 1680/1050 = 1.6. The one you tried, 1024/768 =
1.333333 ergo the distortion. Which screen resolutions are available to you
depends on your video card but I suspect there is more than one that will
give you the desired 1.6.

If the one you ultimately settle on still makes things too small you can
modify overall font size in Display, Appearance; you can modify font sizes
(and more) for specific things in Display, Appearance, Advanced by selecting
the item in the "Item" box.
