uint desksize = qApp->desktop()->width() * qApp->desktop()->height();

int SVGA  = 800 * 600,
    XGA   = 1024 * 768,
    SXGA  = 1280 * 1024,
    RIKS  = 1424 * 1068;

if (desksize >= RIKS)
  points = 14;
else if (desksize >= SXGA)
  points = 12;
else if (desksize >= XGA)
  points = 10;
else if (desksize >= SVGA)
  points = 9;
else
  points = 8;
